What if a highway could actually protect wildlife instead of harming it? Madhya Pradesh’s new colourful designer highway is doing exactly that. This 12-km stretch near the Durgavati Tiger Reserve and the Nauradehi Wildlife Area was once a danger zone for animals like jackals, deer, and nilgai.
But now, NHAI has transformed it using a raised tabletop red surface that alerts drivers through light vibrations and naturally slows them down. Add to that 25 dedicated underpasses that let animals cross safely from below, and you get a brilliant blend of smart engineering and wildlife conservation.
