* **Bypass Fee:** Additional fees are levied for the use of bypasses costing Rs. 10 Crore or more. Specific bypasses and their lengths are listed.
* **Structure Fee:** Additional fees are levied for structures longer than 60 meters, with their lengths converted into equivalent highway length using an equalisation factor of 10.
