N.B. Major shortfall have been in construction of bypasses and bridges. This is primarily due to time consuming process of land acquisition and shifting of services. Targets in widening to 2-lane/4-lane were achieved because the funds meant for bypasses and bridges, in the meantime, were utilised for widening activities
+ The above Targets/Achievements excludes the NHAI programme.
