NHAI allows resumption of construction work on Sohna road project

NHAI has allowed partial resumption of work on the Sohna road project on which the work was stopped after the collapse of a concrete slab of an elevated corridor in August. The 21.66 km-long Sohna road project from Rajiv Chowk to Sohna has two parts whereby the first part includes an underpass and an elevated road from Subash Chowk to a point beyond Badshahpur. The second part comprises the expansion of 12.72-km road length from Badshahpur to Sohna and will involve construction of flyovers and underpasses at major crossings to ensure smooth movement of vehicles on the entire stretch. The work is being allowed to start at surface level and not on the elevated structure, which will be resumed only after receiving the report of the high-level technical committee probing the collapse. The permission to resume work comes after an inspection was conducted by NHAI project director and a report was submitted by an independent engineer on the measures taken to improve safety at the site.
