Odisha government gives nod for coastal highway project

The project was cleared after the State Government agreed to the original alignment of Satpada-Digha stretch via Puri-Konark-Astarang-Ratanpur-Dhamara-Basudevpur-Chandipur. However, alignment from Gopalpur to Chilika Lake will be further reviewed and a decision will be taken later, sources said. As per the proposal, 240-km stretch from Gopalpur to Ratanpur will be constructed in the first phase at an estimated cost of Rs 2,196 crore and the remaining 175 km Ratanpur to Digha in the second phase. The highway will be named 516-A. DailyhuntDisclaimer: This story is auto-aggregated by a computer program and has not been created or edited by Dailyhunt.
