The funds aim to bolster Himachal Pradesh's road connectivity and boost its economic growth.
Singh also thanked Gadkari for facilitating exemptions from forest clearances for ropeway projects, a move expected to streamline critical infrastructure development in the state.
During the meeting, Singh proposed the construction of an alternate road from Ghatasni-Shilha-Badhani-Bhubujot-Kullu, including a tunnel at Bhubujot, under NH-144.
The proposed route would shorten the distance to Kullu by 40 km, significantly benefiting tourism and enhancing the region's strategic connectivity, he said.
Highlighting inter-district connectivity, Singh sought approval for a ₹125.57 crore double-lane bridge over the Beas River between Basantipattan and Kheri, linking Kangra and Hamirpur districts under the Bharat Setu Yojna.
Additionally, he urged priority sanction for a ₹19.09 crore, 110-meter steel truss motorable bridge over the Beas at Pandoh-Shiva road in Mandi district.
Gadkari assured Singh of the Union Ministry's continued support for these critical infrastructure projects, underscoring their importance to the state's development and tourism potential.
