Nagpur: The 75 km long Amravati-Akola Highway, which has become a headache for many years, will be ready in just 108 hours. The Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has found a quality contractor, which is known as Rajpath Infra Company of Pune.
The construction of Amravati-Akola Highway has been stalled for many years. The former contractor left the work midway. Since then no one is ready to take the work of this road. There are big and deadly potholes on this road. Drivers prefer to go to Akola via the Daryapur route. The road dispute has even reached the High Court.
After the Amravati bypass, the construction work of a four lane road from Loni village to Murtijapur is going to be done very fast. Of the 54 km length, 75 km will be constructed through two lanes on one side. Work will start from Friday, June 3,. This project will run continuously for five days and nights.
Rajpath Infra Company had earlier constructed 39 km of road in the Sangli-Satara area in 24 hours which is recorded in the India Book of Records.
