NHAI unveils 126-km interstate highway project

NHAI
NHAI has decided to take up the construction of the 126 km long six-lane project under four packages via hybrid annuity model. It is going to appoint two consultants to provide independent services for the 61.38 km stretch from Varadharajula at Chittoor to Veera Kaveri Raja Puram near Tirutani and 54 km stretch from Veera Kaveri Raja Puram to Kannigaipair. The six-lane road with a 70-meter carriageway would be designed for speeds of up to 100 km per hour and would run via 75 km of Chittoor district in Andhra Pradesh and 41 km of Tiruvallur district covering Pallipattu and Uthukottai taluks in Tamil Nadu. It will start at 152 km-point of the proposed Bangalore-Chennai Expressway and end at Thatchur near Panapakkam on the Tirupati Road. The highway also provides an alternative route to Bengaluru via Tirutani and Chittoor avoiding the congested Maduravoyal-Sriperumbudur stretch.
