L&T resumes work on Mukkola-Karode highway project

highway project
L&T Construction has resumed construction work on the Mukkola-Karode national highway awarded by NHAI, which is engaged in widening of the 26.5-km stretch from Kazhakoottam-Mukkola and laying of concrete road from Mukkola to Karode (16.5km) stretch in Tamil Nadu. The contractor has been providing food and accommodation for its laborers during the lockdown period so that work could be started once the lockdown is lifted. The L&T began embankment works by ensuring that only five to six workers are deployed in an area to practice social distancing. Apart from the delay caused by the lockdown there are still hurdles in getting raw materials as the contractor is expected to complete the work by the end of this year. The contractor also has the responsibility of laying service roads, which was not part of the original plan.
