NH45 Bhopal–Jabalpur Highway: India’s First Wildlife-Safe Red Road | MP Holidays
On the NH45 Bhopal–Jabalpur Highway, passing through the Veerangana Durgavati Tiger Reserve, a thoughtful change is taking shape. This stretch now features India’s first wildlife-safe corridor, marked by distinctive red road markings, specially designed animal underpasses, and protective fencing. Together, these measures allow elephants and other wild animals to cross safely, reducing accidents and protecting natural movement paths.
This initiative, often referred to as the Red Road project, is a strong example of how infrastructure and conservation can work hand in hand. The eco-sensitive road design through Durgawati National Park sets a new benchmark for wildlife protection in Madhya Pradesh and across India.
Adding to this progress, a new 255 km greenfield expressway between Bhopal and Jabalpur is also planned. Once completed, it will significantly reduce travel time while easing pressure on forest routes, making journeys faster, safer, and more sustainable.
For travellers who love forests, road trips, and responsible tourism, this route is truly special. Madhya Pradesh, home to the largest forest cover in India, offers experiences that stay with you long after the journey ends.
So come, explore your country.
