Tenders have been invited for the development of three sections of the greenfield access-controlled Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway from Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu to Gudipula in Andhra Pradesh, for a complete distance of 74 km.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), which is implementing the 262 km-long street undertaking, has invited bids in three packages, costing ₹2,497 crore in complete.
“We hope that by March 2021, we would have signed the agreement with the concessionaire. Construction is likely to commence by September next year,” an official supply on the NHAI stated.
The street, which can enable speeds of as much as 120 kmph, can be constructed below the hybrid annuity mode, the place a portion of the prices is borne by the Central authorities and the contractor is paid an annuity.
Around 70% of the two,295 hectares of land required for establishing the four-lane expressway, which might minimize journey time between the 2 metro cities, is within the possession of the NHAI. The environmental clearance for the undertaking is below progress and tenders for one part of the street in Karnataka have been called for a while in the past.
The undertaking, upon completion, would have 9 main bridges, 144 minor bridges, 143 culverts, 53 pedestrian underpasses and 41 vehicular underpasses. It is projected to have visitors of three,09,116 passenger automobile models by 2024, and 4,40,755 passenger automobile models by 2029.
