Ganga Expressway: UPEIDA invites RFQs, RFPs for DBFOT project
The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has invited request for quotation (RFQ) and request for proposal (RFP) for the construction of the 594 km Meerut-Prayagraj Ganga Expressway on the public-private partnership (PPP) model under design, build, finance, operate and transfer (DBFOT) scheme.
This six-lane access-controlled expressway will have a 120 m right of way (RoW) and is designed to be expandable to eight lanes in the future.
On the Meerut end, the expressway will be connected to the Delhi–Meerut expressway’s upcoming phase-5. That phase includes the construction of a 14.6 km Zainuddinpur to Jahidpur connector, and bidding for it is currently underway.
Phase-1 of the expressway has been divided into four sections for development, with each section comprising three civil packages. In phase-2, the expressway will be extended by 110 km to Tigri on the Uttar Pradesh and Uttarakhand border and by 314 km to Ballia near Varanasi.
