Odisha: 300 km Paradip-Barbil road to be eight-lane
BHUBANESWAR: The 300 km Paradip-Barbil road will be developed into an eight-lane integrated economic corridor. The proposed corridor will start from Paradip, pass through Chandikhol, Duburi, Keonjhar, Remuli and Badarsahi before ending at Barbil in Keonjhar district.
Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday proposed the project during a meeting with Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in which Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan was also present. The Chief Minister suggested that, in the interim, the option of 4-laning of the entire stretch with service roads can also be explored.
