NHAI’s Kolkata office has put the repair of the 10.8 km Berhampore bypass on NH-12 out at ₹85.59 crore, and the Berhampore bypass tender closes at 12:00 noon on 21 October 2026.
Six months to fix a bypass
The work is repair and rehabilitation of the Berhampore bypass from km 191.700 to km 202.500 on the Berhampore to Farakka section of NH-12. It is being done at the risk and cost of the BOT concessionaire, which means NHAI is stepping in on a road the operator was meant to maintain. The period of work is 182 days.
At close to ₹8 crore a kilometre, this is more than a thin overlay. Expect pavement reconstruction in places, plus repairs to structures and drainage, and check the BOQ for how the money is split.
Terms and who they suit
It is an item-rate contract valued at ₹85,59,15,968. EMD is ₹85,60,000 and the fee is ₹50,000, with no exemption. Bids open 24 hours after they close. A contractor with a hot-mix plant and crews in Murshidabad, Malda or Nadia is best placed, since six months leaves no time to set up from scratch.
Speed comes from the paving train: a cold milling machine, a paver and a set of tandem and pneumatic rollers. Excavators and backhoe loaders dig out failed sections to sub-grade, a motor grader relays the base, and wheel loaders keep the plant fed. The bypass carries heavy truck traffic towards Farakka, so lane closures will be short and night shifts are likely.
