Note: For the calculation of tollable length, structures from Km 936.141 are considered. Specifically 50% of the
length of the interchange at Km 936.141 (Sl. No. 02 above) and the length of the Major Bridge at Km 933.442 (Sl.
No. 01 above) have not been included in the instant notification, as these structures were already accounted for in the
previous notification issued vide S.O. No. 3461 (E) dated 13.08.2024. Therefore, the total length of structures for
tolling from Km 936.141 to Km 1032.991 is 6.939-0.125-(0.201/2) = 6.714.
