Four-laning work of the Kazhakuttam-Inchivila stretch of the National Highway 66 bypass will start this year. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started inviting request for qualification (RFQ) documents to prequalify bidders for the project. The bidder should be finalised by November.<\/p>\n
The first phase work was estimated to cost Rs.776.27 crore. The global bidding was for the 26.5-km stretch from Kazhakuttam to Mukkola, where land was acquired two decades ago. Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development Shashi Tharoor told that land acquisition for the remaining 16.5-km stretch from Mukkola to Kaliyikkavila is progressing.<\/p>\n
The fair value survey in this stretch would be completed by Onam. The District-Level Purchase Committee would then finalise the compensation package for those whose land would need to be acquired. National Highways Authority aims to complete the entire work including land acquisition and road work, in 24 months. A total amount of Rs.1,100 crore has been put aside for this.<\/p>\n
The selected bidder would be in charge of design, engineering, construction, operation, and maintenance of the project. The project consists of 76 culverts, 68 pipe culverts, one rail over-bridge; three major and five minor bridges, and two overpasses along the 26.5-km stretch. The Highway will also have new pavements and service roads on either side of the entire stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
