The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued Letter of Award (LOA) for development of a national highway section in the state of Rajasthan under phase IV of National Highways Development Projects (NHDP). The 111 km long Bar-Bilara-Jodhpur section connects western Rajasthan and border areas (Jodhpur-Jaisalmer-Barmer) to the eastern parts of Rajasthan, Ajmer and Jaipur. This is a major strategic route connecting Jodhpur as an important feeder route during war time. Four-laning of the section will permit smooth flow of military traffic as well as heavy commercial and domestic traffic. It will also facilitate transportation of mining and agriculture product.
