Work has commenced on a pilot project to turn Ahmedabad’s SG Highway into a dust-free zone, with the initial phase focusing on a 1.75-kilometre stretch between Iskcon and Pakwan Circle. The initiative, managed by the municipal corporation, AUDA, GUDA, and the National Highway Authority, aims to reduce air pollution and improve urban infrastructure.
The project, expected to be completed within eight months, includes innovative features such as cafes, gardens, walkways, and cycling tracks in the space between the main and service roads. Parking facilities will also be developed to curb traffic congestion.
