As per the Bharatmala Pariyojana programme launched by the Central Government, the road ministry previously identified 20 high-speed corridors that would be be approved by the Union Government by December 2024. A key corridor in this list is the 783 km long Kharagpur –Cuttack – Visakhapatnam (Vizag) Expressway.
As per the latest reported update, this project is presently progressing steadily, with 10 firms having submitted bids to prepare Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways) opened the technical bids for the project on 5 November 2024.
The next step involves a detailed technical evaluation of the bids, which may take a couple of months. Afterward, the financial bids of the technically qualified consultants will be opened, determining the lowest bidder for each package.
If contracts are awarded in the first half of 2025, MoRTH expects the DPRs to be completed by the end of 2026. Following the approval process, land acquisition, and necessary clearances, construction is expected to begin no sooner than 2028.
