08 Mar 2022 CW Team

The NHAI has terminated the agreement given to Chetak Enterprise to develop the Kaithlighat-Dhalli section of the Parwanoo-Shimla four-laning project due to tardy advancement.

Fresh proposals have been invited, and the tender process will finish in March.

The project value has been estimated at Rs 3,760 crore, and the proposal of 28.4 km stretch has been split into two stretches Kaithlighat- Shakral (17.46 km) and Shakral-Dhalli (10.98 km).

Two twin-tube tunnels and 20 bridges will be constructed in the first stretch for which the forest approval is almost done. The second stretch will have three tunnels and seven bridges, comprising the 580 m long extra dose cable bridge to be constructed 240 m above the ground level at Rs 300 crore. To evade the dumping of debris in forests and drains, 13 sites have been recognised.

It will go a long way in decongesting Shimla and render better connectivity to the Tibet border and other tourist places en route, and provide easy passage during medical emergencies, NHAI Regional Officer Abdul Basit told the media.

The highway will be linked by link roads at six points, Junga road, Kaithlighat-Bassa Road, Housing Board-Chamayana road, Mehli-Gushan road, Sanjauli bypass, Bhattakufer-new IGMC road and the Dhalli-Mashobra and Kufri diversion.
