NH stretches are due to inadequate pavement thickness/ composition of State roads while handing them over to the Central Government after declaration of these roads as new NHs. The works on such NHs as well as other NHs are taken up from time to time as per inter-se priority, traffic density and availability of funds to keep the NHs in traffic worthy conditions.

All NHs in need of immediate Development/  Maintenance  and  Repair  (M&R)  are  included  in  the same.

Various types of M&R works taken up on NHs include Ordinary Repairs  (OR),  Periodical  Renewals  (PR)  /  Improvement  of  Riding Quality Programme (IRQP), Special Repairs (SR) and Flood Damage Repairs (FDR).

M&R of balance stretches of NHs are carried out regularly as per available budgetary outlay, inter-se priority and traffic density to keep such NHs in traffic worthy conditions.
