Gadkari also pledged to construct a road from Tangi to Digha.

“Due to Chilika lake and the wetland, there is missing link between Gopalpur and Satpada. For this, people still depend on boats for transportation. Between NH-516 A and NH-316 A, a road will be constructed. Authorities have been told to prepare a DPR,” Gadkari said.

Asserting that the coastline is Odisha’s greatest asset, Gadkari promised projects to boost fishery production and enable local fishermen to earn in dollars. He emphasised the significance of the Bhubaneswar ring road in reducing commute time for residents of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Khurda.

Additionally, Gadkari disclosed plans to commence construction on the proposed 35-km four-lane Greenfield ring road in Sambalpur, costing Rs 1,333 crore, in October. This initiative aims to alleviate traffic congestion between Rourkela and Cuttack.
