HIGHWAY PROJECT
The Stages of Highway Development
process are:
1. Planning,

After construction is completed, ongoing operation and maintenance activities continue throughout the life of the facility.
The National Highways Development Project (NHDP) is a project to upgrade, rehabilitate and widen major highways in India to a higher standard.
The project was started in 1998 under the leadership of Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
National Highways account for only about 2% of the total length of roads, but carry about 40% of the total traffic across the length and breadth of the country.
This project is managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under the Ministry of Road, Transport and Highways.
The NHDP represents 49,260 km of roads and highways work and construction in order to boost economic development of the country. The government has planned to end the NHDP program in early 2018 and consume the ongoing projects under a larger Bharatmala project.
