Odisha's 160-km Rameshwar-Paradeep Coastal Highway Project Advances with 17 Bids
Odisha's new 160-km Rameshwar-Paradeep Coastal Highway, developed by NHAI under the Hybrid Annuity Mode with a budget of Rs 8,300.79 crore, aims to reduce travel time by 2.5 hours. The highway will have two packages: a four-lane access-controlled section from Rameshwar to Konark and a two-lane section from Konark to Paradeep. It will enhance connectivity to key destinations like Puri, Konark, Paradip Port, and the upcoming Puri International Airport, while easing traffic on existing routes and supporting economic growth along Odisha's coast.
