Nine kilometres of SH-161 in Basti district are being widened to two lanes with paved shoulder at ₹28.89 crore, and the Basti Alinagar road tender closes at 12:00 noon on 13 November 2026.
From chainage 11 to chainage 20 on SH-161
UP PWD wants widening and strengthening of the Basti Mahson Mahuli to Alinagar road, SH-161, from chainage 11.00 km to 20.00 km, as two lane with paved shoulder. The Superintending Engineer, Basti Circle, under the Chief Engineer, Basti Zone, is the inviting office, reference 5599/4E-NIVIDA-BASTI CIRCLE/2026-27 dated 1 October 2026. The portal records an item rate contract with 365 days.
State highway widening in the eastern UP plains is straightforward engineering with awkward logistics: ribbon development along the road, level crossings, and villages that use the carriageway as a market. One year is achievable if the widening strip is clear of encroachment when you mobilise.
What the numbers say
The estimate is ₹28,89,00,000, EMD is ₹43,34,000 and the tender fee is ₹6,255. Bids close at noon on 13 November and open at 12:30 PM the same day, which leaves about a week to put the file together. At this size the department expects a district-level contractor with its own paving train rather than a large firm.
Nine kilometres of two lane widening is one balanced fleet for a season. An excavator cuts the widening strip and drains, a backhoe loader follows on culverts and approaches, and the layer work needs a motor grader with vibratory and pneumatic compactors. Keep a wheel loader at the crusher or stockpile so the hot mix plant never waits. Cross drainage along the alignment takes a site mixer. Owners in Basti, Gorakhpur and Ayodhya are within a day move of site.
