Contract for Kazhakoottam-Parippally NH work to be finalised in a week
THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The contract for the development of the 29-km stretch along NH 66 from Kazhakootam to Kadampattukonam at Parippally is likely to be finalised in a week. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has received bids of seven companies through the e-tender process. NHAI sources said the contractor would be finalised after selecting the company which quotes the lowest amount. The company will be selected after a technical and financial evaluation.
Though the technical evaluation is over, financial evaluation of the firms is under way. The road will be widened to 45 m to facilitate six-lane traffic. There will be service roads on either side and proper road safety measures will be put in place as mandated by the Indian Road Congress.
