New Bridges, Tunnels and Expressways Slash Travel Times Across India

A wave of infrastructure development across India is significantly reducing travel times for commuters and long-distance travellers. Projects spanning bridges, tunnels, expressways, and railways are replacing outdated, circuitous routes with faster, more direct connections. Journey durations that once stretched to 33 hours are being cut to as few as 12, while other routes have seen travel times halved from 14 hours to 6. The upgrades address longstanding challenges posed by difficult terrain and the absence of efficient transport links. Vande Bharat train services and modern road corridors are among the key drivers of this transformation.
