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.
