Sources within the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) claim that the detailed project report (DPR) is now being whetted and final adjustments are being made. “We’ll probably request bids in two to three months. The fundamental DPR, which outlines where and how many weapons it should have, is prepared. We are waiting for the State government’s perspective on this, he said.
The infrastructure will aid in the development of more lanes to the busiest section that enables traffic to travel from the metropolis to the southern regions of the State.
