Barabanki-Bahraich Highway to Become UP’s First Digital Highway
The Barabanki-Bahraich Highway in Uttar Pradesh is set to become the state's first digital highway. This transformation involves equipping the 84-kilometer road with advanced digital infrastructure, including smart traffic management systems, surveillance, and real-time monitoring to improve safety and efficiency. This project aligns with the broader goal of modernizing India's transport infrastructure by integrating technology to enhance user experience and operational efficiency.
The initiative represents a step forward in creating "smart highways," leveraging innovations like IoT devices and AI for dynamic traffic control and road safety. It is expected to set a precedent for similar projects across the country.
