NHAI Plans Rs 66.5 Crore Upgrade for Jabalpur Bypassed Highway
The National Highways Authority of India wants to repair and improve an older highway section in Jabalpur.
The section is about 12 kilometers long.
Traffic began using the Jabalpur Ring Road instead of this stretch.
The planned work includes rebuilding the road with a stronger surface.
Workers would also add drains, lighting, a median and road-safety equipment.
Seventeen culverts and two minor bridges would be improved or rebuilt.
Twenty-four junctions would also be developed.
The project is expected to cost about Rs 66.5 crore and take one year after the contract begins.
The National Highways Authority of India invited bids to improve a 12.138-km bypassed NH-34 stretch in Jabalpur.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 66.53 crore, excluding GST.
Planned works include rigid-pavement reconstruction, RCC drains, a median, lighting and road furniture.
NHAI also proposes widening 17 culverts, upgrading two minor bridges and developing 24 junctions.
The project has a 12-month construction period and a three-year defect liability period.
