Bandikui–Jaipur Expressway: The long-awaited Bandikui–Jaipur Expressway, a 67-kilometre access-controlled road, is now complete and set to open soon. The project, which faced an eight-month delay, is expected to reduce travel time between Bandikui and Jaipur to just 30 minutes. Built at an estimated cost of Rs 1,368 crore, the expressway is designed for vehicles to travel at speeds of up to 120 km/h.

Officials from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) confirmed the completion of construction and safety audits. The expressway will be opened to the public after final approval from the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, as per a Times Now report.
