The six-lane Agra Bombay national highway NH 3, 1161 km long of which 500 kilometers part is under construction from Dewas to Gwalior including the bridges from Gwalior to Biaora is fully completed and all the tolls which are located around every 90 kilometers are now functional.
The six lane road from Gwalior to Biaora is almost completed and it provides a smooth fast and pleasant drive experience to the drivers of the four-wheelers, but this same road (which starts from the end of Indore district and moves completely in Dewas district ) around 50KM in length is still under construction at some places. This six lane road is in miserable condition in Dewas district as there is no road except this in Dewas district.
This single road is full of mud and potholes and the driver gets a bumpy ride on which speed could not be increased more than 30 kilometers.
On one hand it takes around 6 hours to cover 450 KM from Gwalior to Indore but it takes almost 2 hours to cross the 50KM in Dewas district.
The NHAI sources told The Pioneer that in Dewas district since 5 years we are facing the difficulty to get the land from the people for constructing road as few people are regularly appealing the revenue authorities to decrease the breadth of six lane and make it a two lane , and they are not giving the land for the construction of road.
An NHAI official told The Pioneer that the process of land acquisition was very slow as the previous revenue officers did not take interest in the land acquisition for the NHAI, but now the revenue officers have speed up the land acquisition process and very soon we will construct the six lane in Dewas district.
