Corridors: Batote-Khellani Project status: Ongoing

The ongoing Maintenance and Repair (M&R) project on NH-244 focuses on rejuvenating critical stretches of the highway. Spanning 31.43 km from Batote (Km 0.000) to Khellani (Km 45.000) and the Paryote-Puldoda stretch (Km 0.000 to Km 8.000), this initiative is dedicated to laying Bituminous Concrete on selected road sections. The project, appointed on May 15, 2023, aims to enhance the durability and surface quality of the existing road infrastructure. With a focus on maintenance rather than upgrade, the project ensures that the road remains functional and safe for current usage, preserving the integrity of this vital corridor.

While this M&R project does not involve significant upgrades or alterations to travel times, it plays a crucial role in maintaining the highway's current condition. By addressing wear and tear through targeted repairs, the project supports ongoing road safety and usability across a 53,000-meter stretch. The primary benefit of this maintenance work is the preservation of road quality, which helps in preventing further deterioration and ensuring a reliable transit route. Although no major improvements are anticipated, the project's careful attention to road upkeep contributes to the overall functionality and longevity of NH-244, supporting seamless travel and operational efficiency for its users.
