The total highway length for these projects is substantial, reaching approximately 680 kilometres, emphasising the scale and significance of the proposed infrastructure initiatives.

The decision to pursue the Build-Operate-Transfer model for these projects signifies a strategic approach to leverage private sector participation in highway development.

The scale and financial value of these projects underscore the government's commitment to robust infrastructure development, fostering economic growth and connectivity.
