The West Bengal Highway Development Corporation is coming up with GIS Mapping of all the State Highways. All such maps will be available on the Website of the Corporation after Durga Puja. This unique system is available in only one other state in the country. Not even the National Highways Authority could provide such a system. A mobile app is also being developed to provide the information to all users.
The information that a user can get from the maps:
The start and end points of Highways, along with dimensions
Condition of the road and the exact location of a damage, if any
Number of bridges on the road
The last date of maintenance work
Number of roads connecting two places and the shortest available route
Traffic situation on the road
Details of Petrol pumps, banks, Hotels, ATMs, restaurants, hospitals etc. on the highway
