NHAI floats tenders for ₹2,431-cr NH in Gujarat

NHAI
NHAI has floated tenders for three sections of the Ahmedabad-Dholera expressway project, which involves an investment of ₹3,000 crore. To start with, NHAI has covered the three sections involving an investment of ₹2,431 crore and tenders for the remaining portion of the project would be floated shortly. It may be recalled that the project was first announced in March 2010 by the state road and buildings department but remained in limbo since then and now the PM will lay the foundation stone of the project very shortly. Deadline for submission of the tenders is mid-February and the work is likely to be over by 2022. This will be the single biggest road sector infrastructure project in the recent past as the 110-km expressway will connect Dholera SIR and the proposed Dholera Airport besides Bhavnagar, Amreli and other coastal areas to Ahmedabad. Dholera Airport may also be ready by the time the expressway work gets over. The AAI has received almost all clearances for carrying out developmental work of the Dholera International Airport.
