The Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) has floated a global tender inviting infrastructure firms to develop a greenfield 8-lane, 74 km Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) through a PPP on design, build, finance, operate and transfer model (PPP-DBFOT).
PRR is planned as a 73.50-km stretch with a 100 metre-wide road. On completion it will connect Tumakuru in and Hosur roads, via Hessaraghatta Road, Doddaballapur Road, Ballari Road, Hennur Road, Old Madras Road, Hoskote Road and Sarjapur Road. Along with NICE Road, which links Tumakuru Road and Hosur Road via the city’s northwestern, western and southwestern areas, Bengaluru will have a 116-km-long bypass on its periphery.
Around 2,560 acre of land are required for the project which will be borne by the private investor. The last date for submission of bids is May 18, 2022.
