NHAI considering expressway connecting Hyderabad-Amaravati
Hyderabad. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) Chairman, Raghav Chandra, on Thursday said expressways that connect Hyderabad with Vijayawada- Amaravati, Nagpur and Bengaluru were under consideration of the premier body.
Mr. Chandra, who was addressing the inaugural session of a two-day national conference on highways construction technology here, said this while referring to the major projects of NHAI. “We have 30,000-km projects in the pipeline,” he said of a list that includes expressways as well as four or six laning of highways. The conference is being organised by the Confederation of Indian Industries (CII).
We are particularly concerned about the time that DPR preparation takes,” Mr. Chandra said, adding that some of the consultants entrusted with the task do not go to the field, but cook up project details by just looking up Google maps. This posed problems when the road development is undertaken, necessitating acquisition of new lands resulting in projects getting delayed.
Hence, the NHAI has made it “compulsory now that all our project reports should be matched by using Lidar [surveying] technology,” he added.
