The necessary 56.82 hectare of private land and 4.4 hectare of government land required for the corridor have been successfully acquired.

Permits for Stage-I forest clearance have been secured, and work is already progressing in forested areas. The Stage-II clearance is also advancing, with approvals nearing completion.

Earthworks for the project are in progress, with 2 million cubic metres of filling already completed.

The project has also achieved breakthroughs for all three tunnels, with over 3,100 metres of underground excavation completed. Lining work is simultaneously on-going.

Of the 47 bridges planned, 29 minor and six major bridges have been completed.

Additionally, four road overbridges (ROBs) are ready, and there has been significant progress on key structures at Mohape and Kirawali.
