Punj Lloyd has secured a 41 km long, Rs 541.84 crore road project from National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in Bihar. The scope of work for the project includes Four laning from 360.915 km to 402.000 km of the Gorakhpur -Gopalganj section of NH-28 in Bihar. Part of the highway connecting Lucknow and Muzaffarpur, the stretch starts from Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh and will pass through the Kuchaikot, Sasamusa, Gopalganj, Koini and Dewapur areas of Bihar.
The highway aims at reducing travel time between Gorakhpur-Gopalganj and Gorakhpur-Patna by reducing congestion and improving geometric deficiencies at various intersections. It will also improve the connectivity of Valmiki Wildlife sanctuary (situated at the Nepal border) with Patna hence promoting tourism. The stretch runs through the flood prone zone in north-western part of Bihar with river Gandak running parallel. The key feature is the design of the highway at 1 meter above the High Flood Level (HFL), which will enable commuters to travel unaffected during floods.
Punj Lloyd provides engineering, procurement, construction (EPC) and project management services. It provides services to oil and gas, energy, infrastructure petrochemical, telecom broadband and utilities sectors, among others.
