29 Jun 2026 CW Team

The scope includes widening and strengthening of the Dengapola to Champahat route via Jantakothi, Podana, Tandikul, Naulo and Sorishpokhari over a stretch from zero kilometres to 14.647 kilometres, with the exception of the segment from 10.340 kilometres to 10.970 kilometres. The works comprise standard pavement improvement activities and structural upgrades aimed at enhancing carriageway capacity and safety. The project specification indicates a focused upgrade rather than new alignment. Work descriptions in the notice focus on improving existing pavement and structural elements rather than constructing new bypasses.

The work order is designated under the state plan and follows routine administrative sanction from the Jagatsinghpur R and B division, reflecting scheduled infrastructure maintenance and enhancement. The execution will involve mobilisation of resources, traffic management and staged construction to minimise disruption along the corridor. Contractual timelines and payment terms were not disclosed in the public notice. Preparatory surveys and site mobilisation will form part of the early works phase.

The award adds to ARSS Infrastructure Projects’ portfolio of road contracts within eastern India and underscores the sectoral emphasis on maintaining district road networks. Financially, the value is stated as Rs 214.6 mn, reflecting the conversion from the rupee crore figure provided in the notice. Local stakeholders will monitor progress as the company proceeds with detailed planning and execution. The award aligns with ongoing efforts to sustain rural and district level road infrastructure across the state.
