After Larsen & Toubro (L&T) stopped work on the four-laning of NH 75 from B C Road to Addahole, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) authorities have invited a fresh bid to take up the work.
According to information obtained under RTI from the NHAI by DH, the bidding for the work is in progress and the work is yet to be awarded to a contractor.
If everything had gone as planned, then the work on four-laning of the NH 75 would have been completed by September 2019. The foundation for the work was laid by Union Minister Nithin Gadkari at Panambur on March 28, 2017.
Initially, due to the descoping of works in forest stretch, land acquisition and financial issues, the project from Addahole to B C Road was delayed.
