The US$248.5 million project is of particular note due to the presence of the Chinese firm.

Ramky Infrastructure holds a 74% stake in the joint venture while Jiangshu Provincial Transportation Engineering Group holds 26%. They will conduct the project on design-build-finance-operate-transfer (DBFOT) and construction is expected to take three years, which is included in the 20-year concession timespan.
