Three tunnels with a total length of 6,015 meters are being built here, two viaducts, 23 road bridges, 8 overpasses, 50 underpasses, 5 overhead crossings, and work is already underway to lay the foundation and pile work as part of the construction of 8 bridges.
The construction of a camp is already nearing completion on the site. It will ensure the rapid construction of the road. The camp has an asphalt concrete plant, a special area for machines and mechanisms, an office for workers, a canteen and recreation places.
