National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has offered Engineering Procurement Construction (EPC) contracts to develop two sections in Jharkhand.
The project to develop 57-km-long Govindpur-Chas-Jharkhand/West Bengal Border section that involves four-laning of 38 km and two-laning with paved shoulder of 19 km to M/s Ashoka Buildcon Ltd.
Costing Rs 946 crore, the project is slated for completion within 2 years and will have four Railway-Over-Bridges (ROBs), one Railway-Under-Bridge (RUB) and 5-km-long bypass for Maheshpur town.
The project corridor runs through two key industrial districts -- coal mining hub of Dhanbad and steel city of Bokaro.
This is a key link for inter-state connectivity between Jharkhand, West Bengal, Odisha and other parts of India. Development of the section would ease transportation of coal and steel, thus contributing to the country's industrial growth.
