The proposed double decker elevated corridor from Pardih Kali Temple in Mango to Baliguma has finally been put out to bid by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). The project's anticipated total cost is Rs. 145 billion, and the proposed elevated corridor will be about 10.4 kilometres long. Bidyut Baran Mahato, an MP from Jamshedpur, expressed happiness over the development. He claimed to have been working on this project for many years. He claimed that in order to begin this initiative, he had written multiple letters to the NHAI, the Central government, and other agencies.

For the next 100 years, it will be a special present for the city's residents,” the MP said. Mahato praised Nitin Gadkari, Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways, for approving the project. Also, he congratulated PM Modi for his leadership and the choices he made that resulted in the project's successful start, and acknowledged Colonel AS Kapoor, the project's director.
