The 346-km coastal highway project, divided into two parts - 176-km Rameshwar (near Tangi) to Ratanpur and 170-km Ratanpur to Digha, was proposed to be constructed in several packages. While the NHAI had invited bids for the construction of the four-lane coastal road between Rameshwar and Ratanpur in three packages after its alignment was changed for the third time, the tenders were cancelled abruptly before the end of the deadline on August 10.

Package 3 from Kakatpur to Erasama was facing stiff opposition from the locals due to the revised alignment. Sources said the highway alignment has been revised again and recommended for environmental clearance. The DPR will be prepared after it gets the green signal.
