NHAI to invite fresh bids for Kaithlighat-Dhalli bypass
The construction of Shimla bypass (Kaithlighat-Dhalli) four-laning project is set to miss the revised deadline of September 2020 as the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to restructure the project and invite fresh bids under Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) mode after termination of contract by concessionaire.
The NHAI would restructure the 27.45-km Kaithlighat-Dhalli section of National Highway-5 with four lane carriageway and twin tube tunnel and fresh bids would be invited within three months under EPC mode after restructuring.
The decision was taken at a high-level meeting under the chairmanship of Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari to review the progress of Shimla bypass and Parwanoo-Solan four-laning project, minutes of which are available with The Tribune.
