India sanctions Rs 758 crore to convert 22-km Tiger Corridor to 4-lane highway
Highway contractors and regional freight operators must prepare for 4-lane construction works
Change
India sanctioned Rs 758 crore to upgrade the 22-km National Highway-46 (NH-46) 'Tiger Corridor' in the Itarsi–Betul section to a four-lane highway, including 11 wildlife underpasses and overpasses.
Why it matters
Construction will require staged traffic diversions and project-stage approvals that disrupt existing freight schedules and access. Mandatory wildlife crossing structures create binding design and compliance requirements for any contractor on the route.
Implications
- — Highway construction contractors bidding for the NH-46 Itarsi–Betul upgrade — must include wildlife underpass/overpass designs and compliance timelines in proposals immediately — bids that omit these features risk rejection or contract non-award.
- — Regional freight operators using the Itarsi–Betul corridor — must plan alternate routes or timing for shipments before works begin — failure to do so will cause delivery delays and missed market commitments.
