JEYPORE: A new NH bypass will be constructed for Jeypore town from Bariniput to Umuri village under Jeypore NH division by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
This is aimed at diverting the traffic flow on Raipur-Visakhapatnam NH that passes three km through Jeypore town.
At least 4,000 vehicles ply on the NH through the town leading to traffic snarls and taking the gravity of the situation, public representatives and district administration had asked the NHAI to construct a bypass. NHAI had approved the bypass project last year.
