Broadening of Highways
Broadening of Highways
The
Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has taken up development/widening of
NHs under various phases of National Highways Development Project (NHDP),
Special Accelerated Road Development Programme for the North East Region
(SARDP-NE) including Arunachal Pradesh Package of Roads, Special Programme for
Development of Roads in the Left Wing Extremism (LWE) affected areas, National
Highways Interconnectivity Improvement Project (NHIIP), National Highway
(Original) [NH(O)] works, etc.
Keeping in
view the requirements to enhance Road Safety, reduce congestions, improve road
connectivity / conditions, the Ministry has taken decision to augment the NHs network
of existing 1,03,613 km. About 47,890 km length of State Roads have been
approved “In-Principle” for their declaration as new NHs subject to outcome of
their Detailed Project Reports (DPRs). Initiatives have been taken for their
DPR preparations. Further, the Ministry has reduced threshold traffic for
4-laning of NHs from 15,000; 11,000; and 8,000 Passenger Car Units (PCUs) per
day to 10,000; 8,500 and 6,000 PCUs/day for Plain, Rolling, and
Mountainous/Steep Terrains respectively. Decisions have been taken to entrust
4-laning of all such NHs to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for
their implementation through additional market borrowings, etc., in a phased
manner by leveraging limited available budgetary allocation. About 5,575 km
length of NHs have been identified accordingly for their upgradations to 4 / 6
lane standards by NHAI and process have been initiated for their DPR
preparations.
