Six-Lane Highways for Bhubaneswar-Puri & Barbil-Chandikhole Roads Approved by Odisha Govt

Bhubaneswar: The Odisha Government has approved the development of six-lane access-controlled highways with two-lane service roads on both sides of the Bhubaneswar-Puri Highway and Barbil-Chandikhole Road.

They are aimed to provide a smooth and congestion-free journey for commuters on these routes.

The move comes after the NHAI proposed the development of access-controlled highways with service roads, citing the increasing traffic volume on these routes.

The Works Department Special Secretary has written to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) Regional Office to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for these two road projects.

In the letter, the Special Secretary of the State Works Department informed the regional office of NHAI about the state government’s approval for the upgrade of the two roads.

The department has also requested the NHAI to make a presentation to the Chief Secretary for finalization of the alignment and controlled access locations.
