BHUBANESWAR: The State government has set a new target to complete the 167 km stretch of the Panikoili-Rimuli section of NH-20 by June this year, which had already been delayed by nine years. The national highway project which was progressing at a snail’s pace since 2013, has been expedited as one side of the Belabahali bridge was opened to traffic from first week of January 2022.
Informing about the progress of NH projects in the State to a high-level joint review meeting by the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways and the State government, Works Secretary Krishan Kumar said while the Panikoili-Rimuli section of NH-20 was expedited, development of Rimuli-Koida section of NH-520 has made substantial progress.
