Raipur-Bhilai-Durg Expressway is a 26.6-kilometre-long (16.5 mi) high-speed urban expressway which links Raipur- Bhilai and Durg on National Highway 6 (NH-6) in the state of Chhattisgarh. The expressway also connects Chhattisgarh with Visakhapatnam, one of the most important ports of India.[2] The expressway has two toll stations installed, one at Kharun - at the entry point of the expressway from Raipur and the other at Kosanala - at the exit point of the expressway towards Durg.
The construction work of Raipur-Durg Expressway Project, worth Rs 95 crore was awarded by the National Highways Authority of India to DS Constructions Ltd (DSC).[3] The expressway has been constructed on a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) basis with a concession period of 11 years 9 months, including the construction period of the project.[4] The work included four laning of the existing two-lane carriageway on the Raipur-Durg section of NH-6 in Chhattisgarh.[5] This has reduced the travel time between Raipur and Durg.[6]
