Nineteen and a half kilometres of district road in Balangir are being widened and strengthened, and the ₹46.11 crore Khaprakhol Juria road tender closes at 5:00 PM on 18 November 2026.
A district road brought up to standard
The Engineer in Chief, Civil, Odisha has tendered improvement by widening and strengthening of the Khaprakhol to Juria other district road from Ch. 0/000 km to 19/500 km in Balangir district. Reference is CE-BRIDGES-II-04/2026-27, the published value is ₹46,11,48,432 on a percentage rate contract, and the period of work is 545 days.
Other district roads are the layer below state highways, and in western Odisha they carry a lot of agricultural and mining traffic on crusts never designed for it. Widening and strengthening here means a wider formation, a new pavement and the cross drainage to go with it, rather than a realignment.
Terms, and a field of local bidders
EMD is ₹46,11,500, exactly 1 per cent, with exemption allowed, and the fee is ₹10,000. Bids open at 11:30 AM on 19 November. Eighteen months for 19.5 km of ODR work is a relaxed programme, which tends to pull in mid-size regional contractors rather than the large EPC firms.
This is bread and butter earthwork and pavement work. An excavator or two with a tipper fleet handle the widening cut and the embankment, a motor grader shapes the granular layers and compactors close them. A wheel loader feeds the crusher and the hot mix unit, and culverts and causeways need a backhoe loader with mixers. Balangir contractors often own most of this already, so the question for a bidder is usually whether to add a second paving front rather than whether to buy in. See the road construction equipment guide for how the spread is usually balanced.
