NHAI Headquarters (New Delhi) will opt for due procedures to shortlist a competent agency to collect 'User Fee' by the end of November. NH-52 is presently four-lane and the fee will be collected from all types of vehicles. The base value for the bidding agency is Rs 42.14 crore,but the tender will be allotted to the highest bidder. The NHAI's project implementation unit (PIU, Aurangabad) has set up the Fee Plaza. Meanwhile, the section of road stretched between Aurangabad and Karodi (290.200 km to 320.104 km) on the highway is nearing completion."" The contract to construct Aurangabad-Karodi section on NH 52 was awarded to L&T (for Rs 513 crore) in February 2018. It was developed on Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) Model. The project involved theconstruction of a four-lane dual carriageway of length 30.21 km with flexible pavement, 28.83 km of service, slip roads and other structures like major bridges and flyovers, apart from eight vehicular underpasses and one cattle underpass.Presently, the works relating to the embankment of bridges near A.S Club and SRPF Battalion are nearing completion, while all other works are completed. The NH 52 project including the road and fee plaza is supervised by NHAI's projectdirector Arvind Kale and NHAI manager (technical) Mahesh Patil.

Presently, the heavy motor vehicles (HMVs) ply at regular intervals and cause traffic congestion on this road," explained the sources.BoxxxxxxxxxxxNH-52 to ease the traffic burdenNHAI project director Arvind Kale said, "The length of section (road) from Aurangabad to Karodi is 30 km. It would take a fortnight or more to get road motorable for the vehicles. I am very hopeful that the NH-52will help ease the traffic burden on Beed Bypass road. The diversion of traffic towards the highway will be from a distance of 2-3 km away from Jhalta Phata (Yedshi-Aurangabad section). The stretch of NH-52, will act as a bypass andreduce heavy traffic coming into Aurangabad city."When inquired about the appointment of the User Fee collection agency at Karodi Fee Plaza, the project director underlined," We are an executing authority. The details about appointing agency are looked after by our head office in New Delhi."BoxxxxxxxxxxxxTotal length of Solapur-Dhule NH 52 - 452 kmLength of road under NHAI (Aurangabad) - 290 kmCompleted four-lane (Phase I) - 190 km - Yedshi-AurangabadCompleted four-lane (Phase II) - 55 km - Karodi-Telwadi (Chalisgaon Ghat)Completed four-lane (Phase III) - 30 km - Aurangabad-KarodiNext Fee Plaza - Hatnoor (Kannad)BoxxxxxxxxxxFeatures of Fee Plaza - Karodi- 16 booths (lanes) for vehicles- Advanced Computers- RFID readers for FastTag- CCTV surveillance- Ambulance- Crane Service- Toilets- Bathrooms
