The IEERs & EMPs have been uploaded in KSHIP web site.The up-gradation work is being carried through civil works contract service. As originally envisaged works were contracted in nine (9) packages in January 2012 and four (4) Rail Over Bridges (ROBs) were awarded between Dec 2013 to Sept 2014 respectively. Due to dismal performance shown by contractors of AEP3, AEP6 and AEP9 these contracts were terminated in July/Oct 2014 and fresh tenders were invited by splitting these three packages into seven (7) sub- packages viz.,AEP3A &AEP3B, AEP6A & AEP6B and AEP9A, AEP9B & AEP 9C. The new contracts were signed during June to November 2015. In all, there are thirteen (13) Road and Four (4) Rail over Bridge contracts under the ADB assistance.
