Toll Plazas
The only toll plaza is in Pratappur on the Bankura bank of Damodar just after the Durgapur Barrage and is named as Durgapur Toll Plaza. The toll plaza is 6 laned and is yet to start post the expansion of the Durgapur part of the Highway to 4 lane highway.
Future Plans
The section of the highway from Muchipara to Durgapur barrage is being 4 laned as per the decisions taken by the West Bengal Government in 2017. Under this project, several new bridges are being constructed. The rail over bridge was also made operational for about a year now. A whole new 4 Laned wide bridge is planned as a substitute for the shaky Durgapur Barrage which was not repaired even once since its construction in 1950. The barrage has developed cracks and is hazardous now. Owing to these reasons a whole new bridge is under construction and hopefully will be complete in 3 years. The work of four landing is at its peak. The entire road would be wide 4 laned with street light mounted dividers with a railing. The road would also possess a footpath along its entire length. There would be bus stops on sides and traffic signals to control the heavy traffic of the Durgapur flank of this road.
