10:53 AM Posted by ukmad

The 81 kms stretch from Karnataka Goa border to Belgaum road NH 4A will be widened by IRB INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPERS LIMITED.

 It is an Rs.800 crores project, out of which Rs.186 crores have been sanctioned right away to get the project into momentum.

 The NHAI is taking up four laning and six laning of various roads in the country and this is also part of the same.

 Once the new road is done it will bring Goa very close to Belgaum and the business with Goa will grow even more. The time for completion could be anywhere from 1 to 3 years, however officially nothing has been communicated.
