The hill road from Kanda down to Bageshwar is being rehabilitated and widened to two lanes at ₹134.81 crore under NH(O), and the Kanda Bageshwar tender closes at 2:00 PM on 30 November 2026.
Nineteen and a half kilometres, Package II
The work runs from km 103.25 to km 122.72 of NH-309A, which the notice also gives as existing chainage km 110 to km 130. It is the second package on this road and carries 913 days on an EPC contract. RO Dehradun is running it through the NH section of Uttarakhand PWD at Dehradun, reference RO/UK/AP/NH-309A/2022-23/656.
Two and a half years for under 20 km is the hill rate. Between the monsoon shutdown and winter at altitude you get a short working season, and every metre of widening on a hill road means either cutting into the slope or building out on a wall.
Fresh notice, long runway
This one went up on 14 October 2026 and runs to the end of November, so there is time to walk the alignment properly. EMD is ₹1,34,81,292 with no exemption, the fee is ₹23,600, and the portal shows the estimate as ₹1,34,81,00,000. Bids open at 2:00 PM on 1 December 2026.
Uttarakhand has become a steady source of hill road work, and the state currently has slide treatment packages open alongside this one. A contractor with a camp already in Kumaon is in a strong position.
Machines that earn their keep on a slope
Rehabilitation on a hill road means removing failed pavement, cutting the hillside back where the alignment widens, and building retaining walls below. Excavators with breakers lead, tippers haul to approved dumps, and a backhoe loader keeps drains and side channels working through the job.
Wall and parapet concrete comes from mixers set up along the route, and the pavement needs a motor grader and compactors sized to work on a narrow carriageway with traffic still running. Carry spare hoses and plan cold starts for the winter months.
