The financial bid for the much-awaited flyover to decongest the Garkhal junction (en route Kasauli) was opened by the Public Works Department’s Road and Infrastructure Develop Corporation (RIDC) at Shimla today.
This will pave the way for awarding the tender for the project over the next few weeks. RIDC Superintending Engineer (SE) Mahesh Rana said, “Initially, two bidders had come forward, but only one fulfilled the technicalities for the bid that was opened today. It is being evaluated. The completion of various formalities will take at least two months.”
