Contractors who know hill roads have a clean shot in Uttarakhand: MoRTH wants 5.378 km of NH-507 taken from single and intermediate lane to two lanes with paved shoulder, for Rs 82.69 Cr.
The stretch
The work covers existing chainage km 53.873 to 59.700 (design chainage km 33.565 to 38.943) on NH-507 in Uttarakhand, run as an EPC contract under the Superintending Engineer (NH), PWD Dehradun. Widening a hill alignment is slow-yield work. You cut the uphill side, hold the downhill side, and keep traffic moving while doing both — which is why the per-km price on hill jobs runs well above plains work.
Kit for the climb
Excavators with rock breakers handle the cutting, backhoe loaders work the tight benches, and tippers shuttle muck to designated dumps. Retaining and breast walls keep concrete mixers busy for months. Then motor graders, compactors and the paving set take over to finish the carriageway and the paved shoulder. Five and a half kilometres sounds small until the hillside starts arguing back.
Dates and money
The estimate is Rs 82.69 Cr with an EMD of Rs 82.69 lakh — the standard one percent — and a Rs 11,800 tender fee. The tender published on 3 July 2026, submissions open on 5 August, bids close on 18 August and open the next day at Dehradun. Bid validity is 120 days, with two covers.
