Badwala Lakhwar Tender: NH-507 Widening with 19 km of Realignment (Rs 248.90 Cr)

NH-507 between Badwala and Lakhwar Bend is being widened to two lanes with paved shoulder, with 19 km of it on a fresh alignment, at ₹248.90 crore, and the Badwala Lakhwar tender closes at 12:00 noon on 16 November 2026.

Widening where it can, realigning where it cannot

The contract covers existing chainage 12.00 to 40.50 on NH-507, from Badwala to Lakhwar Bend, with realignment from km 12.00 to km 31.122. The NH section of Uttarakhand PWD at Dehradun handles it under the Regional Office at Dehradun, reference 1709/13Yata-NH-10/2026 dt. 08.06.2026, on EPC mode with 1,095 days.

Two thirds of this length is being realigned rather than widened, which tells you the existing road geometry is beyond saving on those reaches. Realignment in the hills means fresh hillside cutting, new retaining structures and spoil disposal sites agreed in advance.

Three years, and a sibling package on the same highway

EMD is ₹2,48,90,000 at 1 per cent of the ₹2,48,90,00,000 estimate, with no exemption, and the fee is ₹35,400. Bids open at 3:00 PM on 17 November 2026. The 1,095 day period reflects the short working season in Jaunsar Bawar rather than the volume of work.

A separate and smaller NH-507 package is also live, the NH-507 widening tender worth Rs 82.69 crore on a different stretch under its own reference, so check which chainages you are pricing. Further east the Gangotri Dharasu strengthening work on NH-34 is open in Uttarkashi.

Hill cutting with limited dumping ground

Realignment at this altitude is excavator work first and everything else later. Excavators with rock breakers open the formation, tippers run spoil to approved dumps, and the dump sites are usually the binding constraint in Uttarakhand rather than the cutting itself.

Breast walls and retaining structures take steady concrete from mixers placed along the route, and a pick and carry crane handles crash barriers and culvert units. Once the formation is through, a motor grader and compactors build the pavement. Machines here need good brakes, fresh hoses and an operator who has worked hill cuts before.
