The Sabarmati Riverfront Development Corporation Limited (SRFDCL) has announced plans to install smart, mobile food kiosks and a comprehensive signage system. The kiosks will be strategically placed along the upper and lower walkways, where pedestrian footfall is highest. Offering water, tea, coffee, and light snacks, these kiosks aim to provide convenient refreshment options for visitors.

In addition, the Riverfront will soon feature an international-standard wayfinding system. Initially, signage will be installed near prominent locations such as the Atal Bridge and the Event Centre in Phase I, before being expanded to the entire Riverfront. Designed for clarity and accessibility, the signage will assist visitors in navigating the area with ease, aligning with global standards for public spaces.

The Ahmedabad-Dholera Expressway, a major infrastructure project under the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor, is expected to open by early 2025. The expressway will reduce travel time between Ahmedabad and Dholera to just 40–45 minutes, significantly improving regional connectivity.

The expressway will start at Sardar Patel Ring Road near Sarkhej in Ahmedabad and extend to Dholera Special Investment Region (SIR), passing key landmarks such as the upcoming Dholera International Airport at Navagam. Initially a four-lane roadway, the expressway will support a speed limit of 120 km/h, with future expansion plans to accommodate up to twelve lanes.
