INTRODUCTION

National Highway 79 (NH 79) is a National Highway that links Ajmer in Rajasthan

n Rajasthan and 280 km is in Madhya Pradesh. The section of NH-79 from Chittorga
rh to Nimbahera & up to Madhya Pradesh border is only 2 lane. The road portion f
rom Chittorgarh to Ajmer has already been developed as 4 lane under GQ. The road
portion in Madhya Pradesh from Naya Gaon to Indore has also been developed as 4
lane by Madhya Pradesh State Road Development Corporation. The East & West side
of Chittorgarh has been developed as 4 lane road as East West corridor. The Tra
ffic density on Chittorgarh Madhya Pradesh border is very high and the present r
oad is not capable of sustaining the operational traffic resulting in frequent r
oad blocks & traffic jams.
