Union Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said that there will be no prior experience or conditions required now for the construction of a road tunnel up to 200 metres in length. Addressing virtually an event organised by industry body Assocham, Gadkari said the government also bears the revenue risk in projects where traffic flow turns out lower than anticipated, leading to a reduced toll collection.
“Now, there will be no prior experience or conditions required for the construction of a road tunnel up to 200 metres in length. “For tunnels more than 200 metres in length, the construction experience of a two-lane road tunnel has been accepted,” the road transport and highways minister said.
