At which one of the following places, East- West Corridor connecting Silchar and Porbandar and North-South Corridor connecting Srinagar and Kanyakumari, intersect each other ?

The North-South and East-West (NS-EW) Corridors are the largest ongoing highway projects in India, managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The North-South Corridor connects Srinagar in Jammu and Kashmir to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, while the East-West Corridor connects Silchar in Assam to Porbandar in Gujarat [c1][c2]. These two major arterial routes intersect at Jhansi in Uttar Pradesh [t4]. The North-South Corridor primarily follows National Highway 44 (formerly NH 7), passing through major cities like Delhi, Agra, Gwalior, Jhansi, and Nagpur [t4]. The East-West Corridor follows National Highway 27 [c3]. Jhansi serves as the critical junction where these two corridors cross, facilitating seamless connectivity across the cardinal directions of the country. While Nagpur is famous for its 'Diamond Crossing' in the railway network, the highway corridor intersection is specifically located at Jhansi [t9].
