range of Rs 75 to 80 lakhs per day for the former and Rs 18 to 20 lakhs per
day for the latter.
The Hyderabad - Vijayawada project was awarded through an international
competitive bidding by NHAI on a DBFOT basis with a concession period of 25
years including a construction period of 2.5 years. The four laning of the
181.5 km stretch has been completed as per requirements and also opened for
traffic. With the completion of four laning of Hyderabad - Vijayawada
section of NH-9, the distance of 260 km will be covered in less than 5
hours compared to 6 to 8 hours prior to the construction. Six new bypasses
are developed around the towns of Narketpally, Nakrekal, Kodad, Akupamula,
Sher Mohammed Peta and Navabpet which aid in decongesting the towns.
Construction of the flyovers, Vehicular underpasses, pedestrian underpasses
at various locations and bypasses listed above not only provide faster
connectivity but also enhances safety and fuel efficiency of vehicles
significantly reducing accidents, travel time and vehicle operating costs.

two major economic hubs of Andhra Pradesh namely Vijayawada and Hyderabad
which are witnessing multi-fold growth. It is also a vital facilitating
east-west traffic movement connecting the two segments (Mumbai - Chennai
and Chennai - Kolkata) of Golden Quadrilateral. Thus the highway is
expected to provide stimulus to the local pharma and cement industries
apart from the local agricultural produce and poultry farms. The corridor
shall play a vital role in the economic development of the region.
Apart from providing faster connectivity, the Hungund - Hospet highway also
enhances safety and fuel efficiency of vehicles. Facilities developed as
part of the project include vehicular underpass, passenger underpass, bus
shelters and truck lay-bys. Other user facilities include 24 hour ambulance
and emergency support services. The project highway is part of the NH-13
connecting Sholapur in Maharashtra and Mangalore in Karnataka and provides
connectivity between mineral rich and highly industrialized districts of
Karnataka and rest of India thus carrying heavy commercial traffic. It also
links the local industry with Mangalore and Karwar ports for export. Thus
the highway is expected to provide stimulus to the local steel, fertilizer
and chemical industries. This project will also boost the tourism to Hampi,
Kishkindha, Bellary Fort, Badami etc. The corridor shall play a vital role
in the economic development of the region. |
