A stretch of NH-140 near Ithepalli village made MoRTH’s accident blackspot list, and NHAI’s ₹37.22 crore Ithepalli VUP tender to fix it closes at 11:00 AM on 20 November 2026.
An underpass where crashes keep happening
The job is a vehicular underpass at km 53.020 on the Chittoor to Mallavaram section of NH-140 in Tirupati district, built on EPC mode. NHAI’s Regional Office at Vijayawada issued it as reference NHAI/RO VJA/C-M/NH-140/2026, published on 6 October 2026.
A blackspot VUP takes local traffic under the highway instead of across it. The same section has a separate Chittoor Mallavaram balance works tender, closing earlier, so a contractor already on that road could bid for both.
Deposit and size
The estimate is ₹37,22,32,729. EMD is a fixed ₹37,00,000, close to 1 per cent, with no exemption. The fee is ₹10,000, the work period is 365 days, and bids open at 11:00 AM on 21 November.
Diversion roads come first, then excavation for the box, raft and walls, and earthen approaches with reinforced soil walls. Excavators and backhoe loaders dig, transit mixers pour the box, and a crane handles reinforcement cages and precast panels. Approaches need vibratory rollers and a motor grader. Machine owners around Chittoor and Tirupati can expect hire calls.
