State: Bhubaneswar-Puri and Barbil-Chandikhole Access controlled/restricted highways - Chitta - 08-11-2024
Until now the only access-controlled highways under construction in Odisha was the segment of the Vizag-Raipur expressway that passes through Odisha.
The following news says Bhubaneswar-Puri highway will be a 6 lane access controlled highway (see also https://odishadev.odishasociety.org/forum-438.html ) and so is the Barbil - Chandikhole road.

Quote:The proposal for the development of a six-lane access controlled highway with two-lane service road on both sides of Bhubaneswar - Puri (NH-316) has been approved.
Apart from the Bhubaneswar-Puri road, Barbil - Chandikhole road will also be developed with six-lane access control with two-lane service road on both sides, informed Odisha government.
In a letter to the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) Regional Officer, the Odisha government’s Works Department has asked the concerned department to prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the above projects.
The officials have been asked to make a presentation before the Odisha Chief Secretary for finalization of the alignment and controlled access locations.
