|   SN | District   | Year of sanction   | ROB/RUB   |   LC No. | Location       | Route               |
|------|------------|--------------------|-----------|----------|----------------|---------------------|
|    1 | Koppal     | 2018-19            | ROB       |       66 | 117/600- 700   | Koppal-Ginigera     |
|    2 | Koppal     | 2018-19            | ROB       |       72 | 126/900- 127/0 | Ginigera- Munirabad |

|    4 | Koppal     | 2022-23            | ROB       |       77 | 137/600- 700   | Muniabad- Hospet    |
|    5 | Koppal     | N/A                | ROB- RUB  |       56 | 103/500- 600   | Bhanapur-Koppal     |
|    6 | Kalburgi   | 2015-16            | ROB       |       91 | 602/4-5        | Solapur- Wadi       |
|    7 | Kalburgi   | 2015-16            | ROB       |        3 | 606/3-4        | Wadi Yard           |
|    8 | Kalburgi   | 2015-16            | ROB       |       82 | 564/7-8        | Solapur- Wadi       |

|   9 | Solapur   | 2020-21   | ROB   | 61   | 477/3-4   | Solapur -Wadi   |
|-----|-----------|-----------|-------|------|-----------|-----------------|
|  10 | Solapur   | 2020-21   | ROB   | 40   | 387/3-4   | Daund - Solapur |
|  11 | Solapur   | 2020-21   | ROB   | 42   | 391/8-9   | Daund - Solapur |
|  12 | Solapur   | 2015-16   | ROB   | 66   | 490/9-10  | Solapur-Wadi    |
|  13 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 31   | 335/4-5   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  14 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 54C  | 449/5-6   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  15 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 30   | 327/7-8   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  16 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 44   | 406/4-5   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  17 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 45   | 408/3-4   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  18 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 46C  | 413/3-4   | Daund-Solapur   |
|  19 | Solapur   | 2019-20   | RUB   | 47   | 416/3-4   | Daund-Solapur   |

The  problem  is  faced  in  construction  of  approaches  because  of many  factors such as fixing the alignment of approaches, land acquisition, removal of encroachments, finalization of General Arrangement  Drawing  (GAD),  acceptance  and  sanction  of  estimate, allocation of requisite funds and decided the executing agency in State portion  by  State  Government  etc.  Therefore,  it  is  not  feasible  to  fix definite timelines for completion of these ROB/RUBs.
