Mumbai, Feb 27: In a major development, road construction on the Solapur-Bijapur highway has set a record as the construction of 25.54 km road (one paved road) was completed in just 18 hours. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari informed this feat would be recorded in the Limca Book of Records.

 

 

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) recently completed a four-laning of the Solapur-Bijapur state highway, completing a 25.54 km single lane road in just 18 hours.

 

 

About 500 employees of the contractor company have worked hard for this. "Along with these employees, I congratulate the National Highways Authority project manager, officers, all the representatives of the contractor company and the project officers," Gadkari said.

 

 

The Solapur-Bijapur highway was formerly known as the National Highway connecting Maharashtra and Karnataka. The bypass four lane roads will be constructed between Solapur and Bijapur . The route will also have six flyovers.

 

At present, work on 110 km of Solapur-Bijapur State Highway is in progress. The work will be completed by October 2021, Gadkari said on his Twitter account.

 

Earlier, a new WORLD RECORD was scripted for the laying of pavement quality concrete (PQC) for a four-lane highway of 2,580 meters length within 24 hours. It was achieved in India during the construction of the country’s flagship greenfield expressway, the Delhi-Vadodara-Mumbai project. The construction of Delhi - Vadodara- Mumbai expressway has broken 4 records with record construction within 24 hours.
