India's Longest Animal Overpass Corridor Unveiled on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway

  • The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) constructed the country's first wildlife overpass corridor on a national highway. Spanning a 12-kilometre stretch of the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which cuts through the Ranthambore Tiger Reserve's buffer zone, the project includes five overpasses and India's longest wildlife underpass, all designed to enable safe animal movement without disturbing natural habitats.
  • The project marks the first instance in India where a national expressway was designed keeping wildlife conservation at its core. Given increasing human-animal conflicts near protected zones, this overpass represents a model for eco-sensitive infrastructure and highlights India's commitment to sustainable development.
