Tender issued for widening of accident-prone Nuh-Alwar highway to 4 lanes
The highway connecting Haryana's Nuh with Alwar in Rajasthan is set to become a four-lane stretch within two years to reduce traffic congestion and provide better connectivity in this region. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Thursday issued a notice inviting tender (NIT) for the four-laning of the 49.02-km stretch on the Nuh-Alwar highway (NH-248A). The current single-lane road has created traffic issues, reportedly resulting in approximately 3,000 deaths due to road accidents over the past 12 years. The project of four-laning is estimated to cost Rs 310.44 crore. To be executed under the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) mode, it includes strengthening and improving a 6.84-km section of the existing road in Malab and Bhadas villages in Nuh district, Haryana. The tender, issued by the superintending engineer and regional officer of the MoRTH in Jaipur, invites bids from qualified contractors. The completion period is 24 months, followed by a five-year maintenance period after the construction is complete. Bids can be submitted online via the Central Public Procurement Portal (CPPP) and Bill Information and Management System (BIMS) from July 24 to September 8, with the bid opening scheduled for September 9. The development comes after the Union government in April approved the project to convert the single-lane stretch into a four-lane road. On November 3, 2008, then Union minister S Jaipal Reddy laid the foundation for the four-lane road project. However, the project has remained in limbo. In a post on X, Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari in April said, 'This national highway section connects Gurugram, Sohna, and Nuh industrial areas. Due to the movement of heavy vehicles from Rajasthan to northern states, there is heavy traffic on this route. Making this section four-lane will reduce heavy traffic and provide better connectivity, which will promote economic development in this area.' Nuh Congress MLA Aftab Ahmed had earlier claimed it was the Manmohan Singh government that initiated works to convert the route into a national highway in 2014. 'But the BJP governments at the Centre and the state dropped this four-laning project in 2018, saying that the upcoming Delhi-Mumbai Expressway will take care of the needs of the people,' he had said. The Congress raised the issue repeatedly in the Haryana Assembly, Ahmed said, adding that he wrote to the ministry in December 2024 about the stretch between Nuh and the Rajasthan border via Ferozepur Jhirka.
