NHAI floating tenders for 3,000-km e-ways under Bharatmala
Under the second phase of Bharatmala program, the Central government has proposed to build 3,000-km long expressways, including Varanasi-Ranchi-Kolkata, Indore-Mumbai, Bengaluru-Pune and Chennai-Trichy. The NHAI, which has been tasked with implementing the flagship highway development program, has invited bids for undertaking project preparation so that projects are ready as soon as the work for the first phase bid out. It took about two years to prepare detailed project reports (DPRs) for phase one of Bharatmala. Undertaking DPR preparation for the next lot of projects will help save time and the focus will be on preparing high quality detailed reports for faster execution. Till now, highway construction has largely seen expansion and widening of existing roads. Some of the identified green field highways include Patna-Rourkela, Jhansi-Raipur, Solapur-Belgaum, Bengaluru-Kadappa-Vijayawada, Gorakhpur-Bareilly and Varanasi-Gorakhpur. Sources said that the target date for rolling out these roads totaling around 4,000 km under the Bharatmala phase-II would be 2024. To further speed up the road building, NHAI has asked the consultants to avoid road alignments through national parks and wildlife sanctuaries and instead take longer routes and bypasses to avoid undue delay.
