After inordinate delay by the J&K government, National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has stepped in to take over the construction of proposed three-grade separators along Bypass here at an estimated cost of Rs 135 crore.
The move has come after the central government approved Rs 574.16 crore annual plan 2020-21 for national highway works in J&K.
The major works to be undertaken under the plan include construction of 3.23 km three flyovers in Srinagar on NH-44 (Jammu-Srinagar highway) at Bemina, Sanat Nagar and Nowgam at a cost of Rs 135 crore.
The NHAI has submitted a detailed project report to Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highway which is likely to give the sanction to the project soon.
