highway projects
Work on the much delayed Chennai-Bangalore Expressway, which will also pass through Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, is set to start. NHAI has already started the bidding process for the ₹20,000 crore project said CGM, NHAI, Alok Deepankar. About 60-70 percent land acquisition had been completed. Being implemented under public-private partnership, the 262-km-long, six-lane, access-controlled expressway begins at Hoskote in Karnataka and ends at Outer Ring Road near Chennai, and will reduce travel time between Chennai and Bangalore to four hours. The Madurai-Chennai corridor will be monetized with 12 lots of highway bundles of over 6,000 km before 2024. The Centre recently approved amendments to toll-operate-transfer (TOT) model for national highways.
