The Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway also known as National Expressway 1 is a major artery of public transport connecting the cities of Ahmedabad and Vadodara, also known as Baroda in the state of Gujarat, India.
The 95 km (59 mi) long expressway reduces the travel time between the two cities from about 2.5 hours on National Highway 8 (NH 8) to about an hour now. NH 8 is amongst the busiest national highways in India.
This expressway has 2 lane each side and one service lane. The expressway opened in 2004.[1] There are two exits provided for Nadiad (50 km (31 mi) from Vadodara) and Anand (35 km (22 mi) from Vadodara).
It is a part of the Golden Quadrilateral Project by NHAI. Two-wheeler vehicles are forbidden on the road due to safety concerns. It was one of the major highlights of India Shining campaign by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) coalition-government led by Atal Bihari Vajpayee
