India’s first elevated highway : boon for wildlife

India’s First 16 km long Elevated Highway (on NH 44) solely dedicated to the movement of Wildlife Underneath at Pench Tiger Reserve, Maharashtra. It also connects the state with Madhya Pradesh.

It seems to be a win-win situation for humans and animals. Both have welcomed new elevated stretches of highways on the Seoni (Madhya Pradesh)-Nagpur (Maharashtra) sector of the national highway 44 passing through the Pench Tiger Reserve. While the road has made commute easier for humans, the five underpasses and four minor bridges on this 37-km stretch have also ensured that the movement of animals are not disrupted.
