The much-anticipated four-lane Assonora bypass project, aimed at easing congestion on the busy State Highway 1 corridor, has crossed the halfway mark in construction progress, but its completion deadline has now been extended to May 2026.

Public Works Department (PWD) officials confirmed that nearly 52 percent of the 2.92-kilometre-long project has been completed.

The bypass, being executed by MVR Construction Pvt Ltd at an estimated cost of Rs 162 crore, is designed to provide high-speed connectivity with a maximum speed limit of 100 kmph.

Once operational, it will connect Sirsaim (Tivim) and Mulgao, offering smoother movement for both passenger and commercial traffic.
