6 Bidders for Delhi Amritsar Expressway Spur-1’s Work
6 construction firms have submitted bids to construct Package Spur-I of the roughly 650 km Delhi – Amritsar – Katra (DAK) Expressway after National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) opened technical bids today.
This 4-lane greenfield project starts at KMP Expressway north-west of Delhi, and will be expandable to 8 lanes with provision of service roads in the future. Phase 1 involves the construction of a 397.7 km greenfield expressway between Delhi – Ludhiana – Gurdaspur and a 99 km spur connecting Nakodar – Amritsar.
40.90 km Package Spur-I connects Nakodar interchange with Dhunda village (south of the historic Goindwal Sahib) with an approximately 700 meter cable-stayed bridge over Beas River connecting Kapurthala and Tarn Taran districts.
NHAI had invited bids for this package in June 2021 with a Rs. 1,527.97 crore estimate, 3 year construction deadline and 10 year maintenance period.

Hi.. do you know about what happened to the connectivity between IGI Airport Terminal 1 and T1 metro station on magenta line. An underground tunnel was supposed to be constructed. Any idea of it ?
Thought it opened in 2021? Must not be the case. I know civil work was nearing completion in 2020.
Could you get its status coz there are no media articles available for the same.
