The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has issued a Letter of Award for the construction of the six-lane access-controlled Greenfield Capital Region Ring Road (Bhubaneswar Bypass) Project in Odisha.
The project involves the development of a 111 Km long ring road from Rameshwar to Tangi in three packages under the Hybrid Annuity Mode (HAM). The project is expected to be completed in about 30 months from the date of commencement.
Package I has been awarded to Patel Infrastructure Limited for the construction of a 40 Km long six-lane section with paved shoulders from Rameshwar to Bilipada.
The scope includes development of a 12.4 Km long service road on each side, two interchanges, one railway overbridge (ROB), 10 minor bridges, 142 culverts, one wayside amenity, seven elevated underpasses, and eight VUPs, LVUPs, and SVUPs.
Package II has been awarded to VRC Constructions (India) Limited for the construction of a 30 Km long six-lane section with paved shoulders from Bilipada to Gobindpur.
This package includes 7.2 Km long service roads on each side, three interchanges, 11 minor bridges, 90 culverts, one wayside amenity, three elevated underpasses, three VUPs, six LVUPs, and three SVUPs.
Package III has been awarded to HG Infra Engineering Limited for the construction of a 40 Km long six-lane section with paved shoulders from Gobindpur to Tangi near Bandola Toll Plaza.
The package includes 10 Km long service or slip roads on each side, one interchange, 23 minor bridges, 69 culverts, one wayside amenity, two elevated underpasses, six VUPs, 16 LVUPs, and three SVUPs.
Designed for a speed of 100 Kmph, the Capital Region Ring Road is expected to enhance regional connectivity and mobility by decongesting urban areas of Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, and Khordha, according to a statement by the Road Transport and Highways ministry on Tuesday, 3 March.
The access-controlled corridor is aimed at improving connectivity, reducing logistics costs, generating employment, and supporting long-term economic growth while enabling safer and faster travel across the region.
