The assignment has been awarded under the Hybrid Annuity Mode, under which the government provides partial funding during construction and the remaining investment is recovered through annuity payments. The construction period for the project is 730 days, and the successful bidder will operate and maintain the highway for 15 years after completion. The model is intended to balance public financing and private operation to accelerate delivery.
