1.3 Traffic Survey and Analysis

The collection of Traffic data are essential in any road project based on which decisions
are made. On this project various traffic surveys were carried out to provide as basis for
making highway engineering design decisions and also on the viability of the concept of
B.O.T.

The following traffic surveys were carried out:
1. Classified traffic volume count at 4 locations to establish the important base year
AADT.
2. Origin and Destination surveys to assess the travel pattern of passengers and
goods for prediction of traffic grow.
3. Axle load surveys to obtain equivalent standard axle loads.
4. Pedestrian surveys to decide pedestrian facilities
5. Intersection surveys to identify junction improvements by space or time
segregation.
6. Speed and delay studies to assess the areas of congestion and other bottlenecks.

Accident data on the project road were collected from the police records to highlight
those areas, where road safety is a major concern, and to assist the design of the highway
widening.

The data collected were analysed and used as a basis for forecasts which are used in
various sections of this report.




1.4 Traffic Forecast

The present traffic conditions are very heterogeneous along the project road with some
2510 motor vehicles in the stretch lying in Phalodi Osian and 3582 per day in the stretch
Osian Phalodi. Trucks contribute nearly 15.03% and 10.78% of the traffic volume and
PCU is 3376 & 4507 in 2 Streches Phalodi to Osian & Osian Jodhpur respectively. Most
of the traffic is local in Rajasthan state. The volume of traffic in Phalodi to Osian stretch
passes through Lohawat town. The volume of traffic in Osian to Jodhpur (NH-65) stretch
passes through Osian & Mathania town. Mathania town is very crowded and very
narrow and with crude geometrics in town which causes delays.

The data received from the PWD related to traffic census is not sufficient to work out the
growth of traffic in recent years. So the traffic forecast for each category of vehicle is not
calculated by consultant. As far as the traffic growth in this type of region is assumed to
be 5% growth. This is a fair assumption adopted by the consultant.
Chapter 1 Executive Summary


Page 11 of 166


Bottlenecks is such as weak flushed Causeway and narrow culverts and the presence of 5
Railway level crossing and passing through the geometrically poor and very heavily
congested town Mathania have to be removed soon in order to avoid massive congestion
with the resulting large increase in vehicle operating costs (VOCs) and personal time
costs. 2 Railway Crossings at Mathania & Manaklao have TVU more than 2.0 Lac, which
shows the congestion at the time of closer of Railway Crossing. The above mentioned
bottleneck, if removed would increase the economic cost benefit of the road, as there is
no other major economic factor planned as of now. Probably, if the road is improved as
planned though not in full but in phase this would facilitate to the growth of economic
activities in the districts concerned.

1.5 Alignment and Engineering

The existing road alignment is proposed to be retained except in a few places where
minor realignment which would enhance the overall geometric of the project road is
considered essential.

The widening of the existing road to a 2 lane carriageway with paved shoulder
configuration will normally be made through widening either on the left or on the right
side depending upon the site conditions.

The consultants have studied the project road for improvement and have felt the
necessity of forming by passes for the following major towns and heavily built-up area
and sharp hairpin bend i.e.
Mathania
Ummed Nagar

The major village along the road is Mathania, an Industrial centre. The Mathania village
has a 3.5 to 5.5m wide road which passes through the built-up area with poor geometrics,
for which the consultant propose to have a bypass outside the village area. There are 2
Railway crossings in between Manaklao & Mathania which have TVU more than 2.0 Lac.
The First option as taken by RSRDCC is to construct ROBs on these Level Crossings.

It is suggested to have by pass at Mathania village to end with Manaklao before Level
Crossing. It is almost a route of same length. It will reduce the time of construction of
project as the construction of ROB takes more than 2.0 years and it involves the railway
department also. On the other hand construction of new road takes less time and
acquisition of land is not a problem here. New Bypass will by pass to congested Level
crossings which ease out the traffic movement.
The entire stretch of the project road lying in Jodhpur district passes through Ummed
Nagar village which has a sharp hair pin bend and a intersection, which makes this area
an accidental prone area. Consultant proposes to have by pass this village. The bypass
Chapter 1 Executive Summary


Page 12 of 166

before Ummed Nagar reduces the travel length by approx. 1.10 km. This reduces the
travel time & accidents.
Another bottleneck is at Osian it has a 90 intersection at Osian Mata temple. The new
alignment reduces the travel length by 113m and bypasses the sharp bend / intersection.

Hence the consultant have suggested bypasses outside the municipal / village limits
which will ultimately provide free and uninterrupted flow for through traffic and relieve
congestion within the town / villages which will incidentally help the local traffic.

The intersections & junctions will be studied individually in order to ensure free flow
condition for the through and heavy fast traffic.


1.6 Materials & Sources

An investigation program was undertaken to identify suitable sources of all
constructions materials. It was ascertained that hard broken stones are available at the
following location as shown below which are already declared as government quarries.

Phalodi Quarry
Pokran Quarry

As, regards gravel, the identified sources are existing all along the project road, as seen
from the Quarry Map.


Samples were taken from all the these sources identified and subjected to a testing
programme to know about their physical and chemical properties Based on IRC
requirement, their suitability for adoption for the road improvement work were
examined from the results and actual inspection of these sources indicated that sufficient
quantity of material are available in these sources for use in the road improvement work.

1.7 Pavement Design

The TOR requires that pavement designs be prepared for the following:

Strengthening of the existing carriageway to 2 lane with paved shoulders.
New pavement for additional carriageway and for formation of bypasses.
Shoulder pavement

Based on an initial pavement condition survey an extensive testing program was
instigated to investigate the characteristics of the existing pavement and ground
condition for new carriageway and new alignments.
Chapter 1 Executive Summary


Page 13 of 166


The collection of the above required particulars for design of pavement, required for
various needs have been completed fully.

A summary of the pavement designs is shown in Table 1.2

Table 1.2
Pavement Design
GSB - 200 mm
WMM - 250 mm
DBM - 075 mm
BC - 040 mm


1.8 Bridge and Structures

In the project road there are no major river / streams only Flushed causeway with
Culverts & Minor Bridges are present.

Initially 2 ROBs are proposed at Mathania & Manaklao, which is having TVU more than
2.0 Lac. Instead of it a Mathania Bypass has been proposed to eliminate the ROBs.

At new alignment of Mathania Bypass 1 Minor Bridge at near manaklao has been
proposed by the consultant on existing nalah. 2 Culverts has also been proposed by the
consultant.
With regard to minor bridge, 5 nos. already exist and all Flushed Causeway had to be
converted to Flushed Causeway / Culvert. This also required to widened to 2 lane
carriage way.

The span for the minor bridge at near Manaklao across existing nalah taken 6*6m skew.

Regarding geo-technical investigation, the bore holes have been driven and type of soil
met with have been collected to find out its bearing capacity of soil and the N-values
have been ascertained. The investigation has been completed for all the minor bridges &
Culverts.

1.9 Environmental and Social Impacts

The Environmental and Social Impacts screening report has already been prepared and
submitted

The Environmental report identified the potential major environmental issues that are
likely to be encountered in the course of executing the road improvement works,
established the need for an environmental screening. The report highlighted the need for
assembling relevant data, analysing them and subsequently making an environmental
assessment arising out of the analysis.

The need for a social impact study was highlighted and methodology for conducting
such a study explained.

As a first step a pilot study was commissioned. The data collected from the pilot study
was analysed with particular reference to those below the Poverty Line. These are the
most vulnerable sections, and hence the Social Screening Study thought it fit to focus
attention on this category. Special attention will be paid to the disadvantaged groups
Below the Poverty Line.


1.10 Cost - Estimates

To obtain the cost estimate for the project as a whole, it has been conveniently divided
into 3 Homogenous section based on travel pattern and pavement composition and
traffic loading factor as shown below

Section 1: Km. 73/000 - 121/500 (Excluding Bypasses)

Section 2: Bypasses at Mathania, Ummed Nagar & realignment at Osian

Section 3: Km. 2/0 73/0

The unit rates for each of the above segments were calculated based on the PWD NH BSR
of Jodhpur & Jaipur 2010. The rate analysis has been done for the items which are not
available in BSR. Rate analysis has been done by enquiry made at local market in respect
of quarry material and state schedule of rates was followed for labour rates and the
Standard Data Book of MoSRT&H for item wise data. The quantities and costs were
determined for 1km length for road work and detailed estimate for bypasses and unit
rate for 1m length of bridges structures were worked out. Provision has also been made
for reconstruction and or widening the existing bridges and one ROB, intersections, land
acquisition, social settlement and other road appurtenances and safety features.
Chapter 1 Executive Summary


Page 15 of 166

Cost has been adopted based on the flexible pavement design worked out for the 10, 15,
25 years, design life.

1.11 Economic Evaluation and Financial Viability

Private sector participation in the finances, construction, maintenance and operation of
highways under the concept of Build-Operate Transfer (BOT) is one of the methods; the
Government is seriously pursuing to assist in the modernisation of its highway network.
The primary reason for BOT options are being studied by the Government.

In view of the above policy, the present project was examined for its possible eligibility as
a potential BOT candidate.

To examine its potentiality, the Financial Analysis of the project was analysed under the
following.
Traffic evaluation by sectors
Investment Cost by section
Operating costs
Level of Toll Rates
Anticipated Revenues
Other Financial Parameters
Main Results
Conclusion

Only 85% of the net revenue calculated has been taken into account, allowing the balance
towards such vehicles not utilising the corridor fully such traffic using the other roads
avoiding paying of toll rates.

Only 70% for Trucks & 60% - 65% for Cars & Buses of the traffic has been taken into
account, allowing the balance towards such vehicles has monthly or 24 hour pass for the
route.


Due consideration has been given for possible inflation during the concession period and
interest to be paid by the concessionaire on the invested amount or borrowed money.
Cost towards annual maintenance to be carried out during the concession period was
included in the analyses.

The overall financial picture of the BOT is under finalisation and its viability examined as
a potential BOT (annuity) candidate.

CHAPTER 3
3.0 SOCIO ECONOMIC PROFILE
3.1 Introductions
The main objective of the socio economic analysis is to provide an overview of the
socio economic status and the relative status of the project influence area within the
state. The socio economic profile of the project influence area of the corridor is
required to establish the likely growth prospects which will have a bearing on the
road improvements proposed. It gives the present scenario, past performance and the
perspective growth of economy, population and urbanization. It also provide an
overall view of spatial distribution of economic activities and provide inputs for
estimation of future growth in transport demand on the basis of perspective economic
growth rates and transport demand elastically. In the light of the above, certain
economic parameters are identified for an in-depth study for arriving at realistic
traffic growth rates.
3.2 General Features
The project road of 119 kms lying in the state of Rajasthan traverses through two
towns, namely Phalodi and Jodhpur. The lengths of the project road falling within the
various towns are given below:


Phalodi km. 2.000 km. 75.200

Jodhpur km. 75.200 km. 94.000

As such, the Project influence area falls within the state of Rajasthan, under the above
Jodhpur districts. The socio economic profile of the state of Rajasthan has therefore
been included in this report.
3.3 Project Corridor
The Project road branches off at km. 2/000 of SH-61 at NH-15 Junction.

The Projectr starts at km 2/0 of SH-61 and proceeds in a eastern direction via,
Lohawat, Osian, Mathania and ends at Junction of NH-65 with SH-61 (at Jodhpur).
The project road, for most of its length, runs west to east.

The primary land use along the corridor is Agricultural only and a little of Industrial,
near Lohawat & Mathania.

The entire portion of the project road lies in Jodhpur District. As such, the study is
confined to Jodhpur district only and is taken as the project influence area (PIA)

4.2 Traffic Surveys
4.2.1 Introduction
Traffic on Phalodi - Jodhpur section of SH-61 is characterized by a variety of transport
modes ranging from pedestrian, bicycles and other non-motorised vehicles to
passenger cars, two and three wheelers, trucks and buses. Added to this there is a
high intensity of road side parking of vehicles in some location in front of industries.
Information about traffic is indispensable for any highway project since it would help
for design of pavement, fixing the number of traffic lanes, deign of intersection and
economic appraisal of the project. Traffic surveys are proposed to be carried out to
identify the present and likely future traffic problems to device the suitable remedial
measures and to evolve appropriate details therefore. These traffic surveys are
carried out with the following primary objectives.
To determine the characteristics of traffic movement on the project road.
To collect the historical growth in the project road
To assess the future growth rate during the future design life of the project.
Chapter 4 Traffic Survey & Analysis


Page 33 of 166

To determine the travel pattern as well as types and weight of the commodities
carried out by trucks.
To determine the spectrum of actual loads and the vehicle damaging factor of
commercial vehicles.
To determine the turning movements of traffic at intersections
To identify traffic bottlenecks and the need for the bypasses to congested urban
areas.
To determine parking area and facility requirements.
In order to fulfil the above objectives, the following traffic surveys were carried out in
the project section.
Traffic volume count surveys at 4 locations for 7 days.
Origin & Destination surveys for 24 hours at 2 locations
Turning movement surveys for 24 hours at 2 locations
Accident data collection and analysis.

4.2.2 Classified Traffic Volume Count
Traffic volume count studies are the initial steps of any road project whether
improvements or new construction. These studies are the base for deciding the
components of the road way, such as width of road way, pavement layer composition
etc., Count of traffic is the basic study required in connection with many types of
Highway project. Knowledge of the vehicular traffic using a road network is
important for understanding the efficiency at which the system works at present.
The project road was divided into 4 sections. Traffic studies at mid blocks of these 4
sections are carried out at the following 4 different locations. The Count station
locations are shown in Annexure 4.01

L1: @Km 6/500 - After Phalodi
L2: @Km 39/900 - After Lohawat
L3: @Km 90/000 - After Osian
L4: @Km 119/500- After Mathania.


Chapter 4 Traffic Survey & Analysis


Page 34 of 166

At each location, traffic was counted manually and continuously for 24 hours for 7
days. The number of vehicles passing through was recorded in every 15 minutes
intervals for 15 different categories of vehicles. The classified traffic volume count
was carried out from Morning 08:00 Hours to 08:00 Hours of next day, during the
period from 18/05/2010 to 25/05/2010.
The date wise details of traffic volume count, Average Hourly Variation of ADT
vehicle wise and Hourly Variation of total no of vehicle and PCUs, with daily traffic
variation category wise in the form of bar chart, hourly variation vehicle wise in the
form of graph and percentage share of traffic in the form of pie chart for each of 4
traffic count locations are furnished in Annexure 4.02 1 to 4.02 24

2 : km 73 103/00 = 29.00
3 : km 103/00 122/00 = 19.00

= 119.00
4.2.3 Origin & Destination Survey
The OD Survey is conducted to assess the information regarding travel characteristics
by different modes of vehicles within the project area. Knowledge of vehicular
volume using the existing road is important for understanding the future traffic flow
characteristic on the project road. The OD survey is useful to assess the traffic from
the existing and diverting away and diverting towards due to improvement of new
facility. The results of the OD survey are used to describe the user characteristic, for
the passenger and goods vehicles, such as distribution of local and through traffic,
type and weights of goods carried by trucks. The information will be useful in
describing the need for bypasses to heavily built up urban sections along the project
corridor.
The OD survey was conducted for passenger and commercial vehicles at the 4 volume
count locations L1, L2, L3 & L4 for 24 hours adopting the road side interview method
as detailed in IRC:102-1988. They covered both directions at each site and more than
20% of all vehicles were surveyed.
For study purposes, the entire country was divided into 15 zones in such-a-way that
the characterization of inter-zonal and intra-zonal trips could be clearly analysed on
the project section. Further for purposes of estimating the trips from and to in the
major towns of the corridor zone No. 1, 2, & 3 were assigned to Trichy, Phalodi and
Karaikudi Towns respectively. The OD zone map is furnished in Annexure 4.03 and

4.2.6 Axle Load Characteristics
4.2.6.1 Introduction

Traffic loading on highway pavements is heterogeneous combination of different
types of vehicles, carrying a wide spectrum of wheel loads. It is very much essential to
convert this heterogeneous traffic to and equivalent homogenous traffic in terms of a
chosen standard vehicle. One means of achieving this objective is the use of
Equivalent Standard Axle Load (ESAL) factors. Axle load surveys of commercial
vehicles were carried out to establish Vehicle Damage Factor for use in pavement
design. Since, lighter vehicles have a very small equivalent standard axle load value
and less damaging effect, these vehicle types were excluded in the present axle load
survey. Axle load survey locations are shown in Annexure 4.08
4.2.6.2 Equivalent Standard Axle Load
Equivalent Standard Axle Load is defined as the damage per pass caused to a specific
pavement system by the vehicle in question to the damage per pass of an arbitrary
standard vehicle moving on the pavement system. Thus, the ESAL or Vehicle Damage
Factor (VDF) of a vehicle (j) relative to a standard vehicle s is given by.
Fj = dj/ds = Nfs / Nfj
Where, dj = damage per pass for vehicle j
ds = damage per pass for the standard vehicle s
Nfj = No. of repetitions of vehicle j to cause failure of a given pavement
system.
Nfs = No. of repetitions of standard vehicle to cause failure of the same
pavement system.
4.2.6.3 Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF)
The Vehicle Damage Factor is an important indexing factor for characterizing the
traffic loading for a road. The VDF can be computed from the axle load data by the
following formula, provided sufficiently large and fairly distributed sample of
vehicles are included in the axle load survey.
VDF = Total EAL / Number of vehicles weighed

Where,
Total EAL =

No. of Axles in each weight class x Load equivalency factors


of the weight class.
The IRC Load Equivalency factors were used for computation of equivalent
standard axle.
Chapter 4 Traffic Survey & Analysis


Page 56 of 166


For design of pavements, the intensity of traffic loading is an important parameter.
The intensity of traffic loading is defined in terms of cumulative number of Standard
Axle load repetitions in a given period of time. IRC:37-2001 provides the scientific
method for design of flexible pavements based on the concept of Equivalent Standard
Axle (ESA) and Vehicle Damage Factor (VDF).

Axle Load Survey studies hasnt been worked out here as the motorised goods traffic
is almost less than 30%. The VDF is taken as per the IRC: 37-2001.
4.2.7 Pedestrian Surveys
The pedestrian traffic is only at the Mathania was present but due to Bypass at it, the
study is not required.
Another pedestrian traffic point to be considered is at Osian Mata Temple. At the time
of Field survey there was not much pedestrian traffic was present but according to the
villagers there were very much pedestrian traffic during the holy days. The tenure of
total holy days is more than 75 days during the whole year.
The Osian is a holy place and due to pedestrian traffic there is a requirement of 4 Lane
undivided road with 2.0m wide footpaths at the road sides along the approx. 2.0km
area.
It is seen from the above table that pedestrian crossing are going along the road in all
the above mentioned locations are less than 200 numbers of persons. Based on
IRC: 103-1988 guidelines for pedestrian facilities the minimum width of 1.5m is
adopted for side wall on either side of SH at the above locations.
4.2.8 Speed / Delay Survey
Speed and Delay studies are conducted to observe the undue congestion and delay or
other factors resulting in reduced travel speeds on road sections, so that suitable
remedial measures could be suggested to improve the over all travel speeds on roads.
The studies were made along the project corridor Km 2/0 to 122/0 of SH-61 to assess
the optimum journey speeds at different locations. The journey time taken to travel
the road in blocks of two kilometers were observed by the moving car method. In this
method the test vehicle is run at the average speed of the traffic stream so that the
number of vehicles overtaken by the test vehicle and the number of vehicles
overtaking the test vehicle are approximately same. The travel time and delay in
section of two kilometers of the project road is determined by the observer by using
stop watches.
A total of four runs were made in each section and the mean taken as the optimum
journey speed of the stretch considered.
The study has revealed that the average travel speed is less than 30 kms in the built up
area at Mathania only, and now this area has been bypassed. So the speed at mathania
has been discarded.
Chapter 4 Traffic Survey & Analysis


Page 57 of 166

The average speed at Ummed Nagar also more than 40km / hr. It reduces here due to
Sharp bend this area also has been bypassed.
The average speed at Osian Mata Temple area is 40km/hr. Due to Sharp 90
intersection and a Curve on the road, this sharp Intersection has been bypassed.
After excluding all bottle necks (Bypasses), An average speed of 55 kmph is observed
in the study section.
The average speed works out to 57.89 km per Hour
The low speed in the built up area could be attributed to traffic congestion.
The existence of ribbon development on both sides in the built up area of the project
road is the major cause of traffic friction. The journey speeds at this location could be
increased by suitable provisions. The traffic condition could be improved in other
urban section by provision of bypasses to cater to through traffic.
4.2.10 Toll Rate Survey
Toll rate surveys in the form of willingness to pay have been conducted at two
locations i.e. at O-D survey locations. Questions of simple nature, as to how are the
present road condition etc. were posed to truck operators. They have informed that if
an improved facility, giving them a safe, comfortable and speedy travel is provided to
them, were they willing to pay a certain percentage of benefit they get. Further they
were asked how much toll they can pay in the event of a toll being levied. As this is
more of a study to estimate the attitude of road users to pay for the service facility
they get, the questions were only of an informatory nature.
The analysis of the study reveals that there is awareness amongst road users to pay as
Toll for better services received. But here it is required to mention that local
villagers do not want to give the Toll, where they are driving their car or tractors.
This study was restricted to car users, Tractor and truck drivers only.
4.2.11 Traffic Accident Study
Traffic accidents are fewer occurrences due to less traffic & overall good condition of
the road. Traffic accidents details have been collected for the Project Road for 4 years
from 2006 10 and given in Table 4.13.
In 2009 totally 28 traffic accidents have occurred in the project road of these 15 have
been fatal and 13 have been injuries of a serious nature.
They have identified some accident prone kilometer stretches which warrants special
attention.

4.3 Traffic Analysis
4.3.1 Traffic Volume Characteristics
From the volume count survey conducted for the 4 locations, it is seen that the traffic
volume at count stations L1, L2 & L3 are more or less equal to the average daily traffic
volume in the range of 2756 and 3052 vehicles.
The volume count in location L4 is more than that at L1, L2 & L3. It is in the range of
3556 Vehicles.
4.3.1.1 Rural Traffic
The traffic volume count stations were intentionally located as far as possible away
from the town and villages that would contribute local traffic.
The variation between hours of the day are considerably even and getting decreased
during night and is at the minimum at the mid-night. Again it starts increasing in the
later end of the night period.
The above phenomenon shows peak hour traffic volume at only 8 am to 12 pm & least
11 pm to 6 am of ADT.
4.3.2 Origin & Destination Survey
The O-D survey is conducted to assess the information regarding travel
characteristics, by different modes of vehicle within the project area. Results of the O-
D surveys are used to describe the user characteristics for passenger and goods
vehicles such as distribution of local and through traffic, commodity type and weights
of goods carried by trucks. The information will be useful in describing the need for
by passes to heavily built-up urban sections along the project corridor.
The O-D survey was conducted for passage and commercial vehicles at four locations
for 24 hours adopting the road side interview method as detailed in IRC: 102-1988.
They covered both directions at each site. Over 10-20% of all vehicles were surveyed.

CHAPTER 5
TRAFFIC FORECAST
5.1 General
Forecast over a 25 year period are obviously very uncertain but nevertheless
necessary in order to assess different design alternatives and financing operation. The
traffic forecast has been carried out by adopting the transport demand elasticity
method, which is an accepted and famous forecasting technique, both in India and
abroad. Where by the growth rate is worked out.

5.2 Elasticity Traffic Demand
The traffic growth rate can be worked out based on time series of past data on
population, Net State Domestic Product, Net District Domestic Product pertaining to
the district concerned and the per capita income of the state as well as for the district
were collected from the Department of Economic and Statistic. The Motor vehicle
Registration data have also been collected from the Department of Economic &
Statistic. (source : Statistical Handbook of Rajasthan)

Based on the above log-log regression curve fits have been developed for each type of
vehicle and the corresponding elasticity coefficient determined. Passenger traffic
demand is a function of growth of population and per capita income. Similarly freight
traffic growth is mostly governed by state on district income growth and / or the
secondary sector income, which is primarily influenced by the manufacturing sector
performance. The Elasticity values for different categories of vehicles have been
computed based on past traffic growth in the project corridor as well as motor vehicle
registration data.

5.3 Past Traffic Data
Detailed traffic volume studies have been conducted every year by the National
Highways wing of the State Highways Department. The data pertaining to year 2009
is collected from PWD and other previous data couldnt be made available from the
PWD. The data received from the PWD shown no comparison as per actual fact of
Traffic Census. As traffic PCU is much more showed what it has been recorded by the
consultant. So, only 5% growth assumed.

5.5 Growth Rate Based on Economic Indicators
Since the past data are not reliable, the growth rate based on economic indicator is
considered. Details of economic indicators such as Net Domestic Product and per
capita income have been obtained from Department of Economic and Statistic and the
same are given below.
Net Domestic Product & Per Capital Income

It is seen that the per capita income growth rate in Rajasthan is 3.9 percent, based on
NSDP growth rate of 5.0 percent and a population growth rate of 1.0 percent. In the
case of district while the Net Domestic Product growth is only marginally higher at
5.28 percent, the per capita income growth is 2.9 percent.
The Vehicle growth rate based on Net State Domestic Product growth and per capita
income both for Rajasthan and for District along with. Elasticity growth rate of traffic
for various categories of vehicles are furnished in Annexure 5.01 & 5.02.

5.6 Traffic Appraisal
5.6.1 General
Traffic growth rates needed to assess the likely future traffic levels on the project road
are a product of the economic growth rate and the elasticity of the traffic demand vis-
-vis economic growth. This can be expressed by the following equation.

Tg = e x Eg .1

Where Tg = Traffic Growth Rate
e = Elasticity of Traffic Demand
Eg = Economic Growth Rate

Future economic growth rates in the project influence area are necessary for
estimating the traffic growth rates. The same was estimated based on the national
economic forecasts. Elasticity of traffic demand e can be computed considering the
historic traffic volumes and economic trends. The same are detailed in latter sections.

It is observed that the GDP of the India has increased from Rs. 401128 Crores in 1980-
81 to Rs. 2530525 Crores in 2008-09 resulting in a growth of economy of about 6
percent per annum (Table A-1) during the period. The primary and secondary sectors
during the same period registered a growth rate of about 4.58 percent per annum. The
high and low economic growth rates occurred in FY 1988-89 (10 percent) and in FY
1991-92 (1 percent). The high and low growth rates of primary and secondary sectors
(Table A-2) also occurred in FY 1988-89 (12 percent) and in FY 1991-92 (-1 percent).
Tables A-3 and A-4 indicate that the long term average growth rate of primary sector
is over 3 percent and that of secondary sector is over 6 percent during the period 1980-
2006.

The annual growth of economy exhibited different characteristics during two distinct
periods, one between 1980-81 and 1991-92 and the other between 1992-93 and 2006-07.
The annual growth of economy during the earlier period (1980-92) exhibited greater
fluctuations as compared to that during the latter period. The economy during this
period varied between 1.30 percent (in 1991-92) and 10.47 (in 1988-89) percent. The
economy during the latter period is following a definite pattern as evidenced from the
annual growth rates, realized during this period. It peaked to a value of 9.2 percent (in
2006-07) from an initial value of 5.12 (in 1992-93). In fact during the past five years
2002-2007 the GDP registered an average growth rate of 7.6 percent. The steady
growth of the economy during this period can be attributed to the economic policies
framed in the post liberalization era, which commenced in 1991.

The long term economic growth measured against the base year 1980-81 has
decreased to 4.80 percent (in 1987-88) from 5.97 percent (in 1981-82). Thereafter, the
long-term economic growth is over 5 percent and is 6 percent currently (2006-07), a
period of over 25 years. A marginal fall in this growth rate is observed in 1991-92 and
1992-93, the period in which the changes in macro economic policies were initiated.

Average growth of economy during the post liberalization period, 1992-2007, is 6.6
percent per annum (Table A-5) as against 5.22 percent per annum during the previous
period (1981-1992). It is observed that the Indian economy (GDP) is over 5 percent in
any review period except during the period 1982-87 when it was about 4.8 percent.
The 5-year growth rate during the period 1992-97 is about 6.7 percent. This is the first
5-year period post liberalization of the economy. Currently, during the period 2002-
2007 is over 7.5 percent and is the highest growth period during the past 25 years or
so.

Graph A-1 shows the pattern of growth of Indian economy over the past six decades.
This clearly indicates that the growth rate of industry was the highest until 1970, a
period of twenty years. During the next twenty years period (1970-90) growth rates of
industry and services were almost similar. Since 1990 the growth rate of services
sector is the highest.

5.6.3 India Future
Growth of different sectors of Indian economy was forecast in to the future
considering the historical data during the period 19502007 under different trend
growth scenarios. GDP growth rates estimated on the basis of growth of individual
sectors is presented in Table A-6 and shown in Graph A-2. It is observed fro the
graph that the trend followed by GDP forecast under GDP-5 scenario and Average
Scenario is almost similar. Hence Average growth Scenario is considered to be the
Medium Growth Scenario for this project. It is also observed that forecast of GDP
under different scenarios up to 2020 is almost similar except in the case of GDP-2
Scenario which is lower than the rest. Thus GDP-2 Scenario is considered to be the
Low Growth Scenario for this project. GDP-1 Scenario is almost similar to GDP-3 and
GDP-4 scenarios up to 2020 and considered as the Highest Growth Scenario for this
project. Post 2020, GDP-1 growth is lower than the rest but is considered as to
represent the highest growth scenario to be on a conservative side. Thus post 2020
growth rates of Low and Medium growth scenarios have been estimated as a
proportion of the values of High growth scenarios. Thus, the estimated and assumed
growth rates of future GDP are as presented in Table A-7.

GDP estimates by different agencies are presented in Appendix A-1. The average
GDP indicated for 2007-08 is about 8.1 percent and varies between 7.2 and 9 percent.
The GDP assumed as given in Table A-7 for 2007-08 varies between 6.9 and 7.9
percent.

GDP growth rate estimates or different horizons such as 2020 (based on Vision 2020)
and 2040 considering a 30 year project period starting 2010 (assuming the project is
opened to traffic post improvements) are presented in Table A-8. Goldman Sachs
(Paper No. 152) indicates that the Indian economy would grow at about 8.2 percent
between 2006 and 2010, at about 8.5 percent between 2011 and 2020 and, at about 6.2
percent between 2021 and 2050. These values and those estimated for the low and
medium growth scenarios in the above table are almost similar.

Since the long term average growth between 1981 and 2007 is about 6 percent, the
average growth rate forecast of about 7, 8 and 9 percent, under different growth
scenarios, between 2006 and 2040 appear reasonable.

Estimated primary and secondary sector growth rates (based on regression model) at
national level is presented in Tables A-9 to A-11.
5.6.4 Rajasthan Future
The economic forecasts at state level are not available. The same for the states in the
influence area (mainly Rajasthan) was estimated based on the regression models
developed for the purpose between NSDP (of a state) and GDP (of India) and
corresponding primary/secondary sector growth.

Estimated economic growth rates for Rajasthan based on regression models
developed between national and state economic indicators.

5.6.5 Elasticity of Traffic Demand
Elasticity of traffic demand for the study has been assessed based on the time series
data, published by Indian Roads Congress, on Passenger and Tonne Kilometres
covered by different vehicle types in the absence of reliable historical traffic data on
the project corridor. This information is presented in Table A-15. The elasticity of
traffic demand is assumed to remain constant for a period of five years and the same
have been reduced by 5 percent every five years. It is also assumed that the elasticity
of traffic will reduce to 1.0 and no lower. The elasticity value for slow vehicles is
assumed to be unity initially and reduce by 10 percent every five years to a limiting
value of 0.50. The computed elasticity of traffic demand for each category of vehicle is
presented in Table A-16.
5.6.6 Project Influence Area
Analysis of origin-destination (Table A-17) data indicates that nearly 95 percent of the
passenger traffic is generated in Rajasthan. It is also observed that about 92 percent of
truck and LCV traffic is generated in Rajasthan. Essentially, this indicates that most of
the traffic is generated within Rajasthan. About 4 percent of goods and 3 percent of
passenger traffic is generated in the Karnataka.
5.6.7 Seasonal Variation
Traffic levels along a study stretch vary during different periods of time i.e., in
different months/seasons. Information on this aspect is necessary to estimate the
AADT (Average Annual Daily Traffic). This is best understood by studying monthly
historical traffic volumes on the project road/corridor. This however is not available
for the study stretch. In the absence of this direct information, it is thought prudent to
consider the monthly sales of petrol and diesel, in kiloliters, at the gas stations along
the project road/corridor or on the road stretches in its environs. Reliable information
on these parameters is also not available. Monthly data available from a toll road
within the state was analysed and the estimated seasonal factors are presented in
Table A-18.
5.6.8 Traffic Growth Rates
Traffic growth rates necessary to estimate the traffic levels in future on the project
road are a product of economic growth in the project influence area and elasticity of
traffic demand. Traffic growth rates for various categories of vehicle types were
estimated based on the economic forecasts in the influence area, the corresponding
elasticity of traffic demand and the weights of each economic zone (represented by the
percentage of traffic generation in each zone) defined earlier. The estimated growth
rates of traffic for the three (low/medium/high) growth scenarios are presented in
Tables A-19 to A-21.
Chapter 5 Traffic Forecast


Page 89 of 166

5.6.9 Traffic Forecast
The traffic forecasts for the project road in different growth scenarios are estimated on
the basis of the traffic growth rates as suggested earlier and the estimated AADT
based on the seasonal factor indicated earlier. Traffic forecast for each of the four
traffic count locations and for the three growth scenarios are presented I Tables A-22
to A-33.

5.7 Generated Traffic
Reduced travel time and vehicle operating cost for the new road will tend to
encourage more and more frequent trips, than what road users considered
worthwhile before the project. Generated traffic is new traffic which only occurs for
that reason i.e. only if the project is implemented. The volume of such traffic is usually
estimated, if at all on the basis of on assumed price elasticity for passenger transport
and on annual changes in production and distribution patterns for goods transport.
Both are largely hypothetical.

The volume of traffic can be significant in uses where the relative improvements are
very large, say, from poor dirt track to a modern paved access controlled road. This
project road is existing in fairly good condition and with the same alignment as the
proposed road. The main differences appreciated by the road users will be that the
existing bottlenecks are removed and that the level of service will be better on the
whole. Secondly it can be argued that the long term trends considered for the growth
of normal traffic already embeds the effects of some continual improvements. If so it
would be double counting to as also include these effects separately. For there
reasons, the consultant refrains from adding any generated traffic in the traffic
forecasts.

5.8 Diverted Traffic
If the project road is improved to enable much lower travel times and costs than at
present, then some traffic could conceivably be attracted from other routes or modes.
This would increase the traffic volume beyond the normal traffic growth estimated
and result in additional economic benefits .

There is no acceptance for diverted traffic on this route.

Jodhpur road which connect Jodhpur on NH-65 and Phalodi on NH-15. The project
road runs from km 2/000 to km 122/000 of SH-210 and the total length of this stretch
is 119.00km.
The project road passes through only 1 district viz: Jodhpur
Major portion of the project road lies within the jurisdiction of Phalodi district, and
small portion lies in Jodhpur Districts as shown below:
Phalodi Town : km 2/0000 75/200 = 73.00 km
Jodhpur Town : km 75/200 122/0000 = 47.00 km
Total =119.00 km
The project road after taking off from Intersection at SH-61 & NH-15 at Phalodi. It
passes through Lohawat, Osian & Mathania villages.
The stretch of project road crosses mainly through villages.
The project road crosses the Railway line from Jodhpur Jaiselmer at 5 locations as
shown below:
6.1.2 Location and Terrain Condition.
The start of the project road is at km 2/000 and the termination point is at km 122/0 of

6.1.6.3 Road Width
The existing road for its entire length is of 5.50, - 7.0m except the reach from km
38/500 to 44/050 which is of Single lane with earthen shoulders of 0.5 to 1.5m on
either side for the entire length of the project road.

6.1.6.4 Pavement
The entire stretch of the project road is having a bituminous surfacing. On a visual
examination it is seen that the pavement is accepted. Besides the edges have also been
broken and distorted in some stretches.
A detailed survey on the condition of, the existing pavement has been carried out for
noting down the % of cracking, ravelling and rut and number of potholes. The survey
details are furnished in Annexure -6.1

6.1.7 Traffic
6.1.7.1 Rural Sections
The AADT on rural section of the road as per Traffic survey conducted during the
period of 18.05-2010 to 25-05-2010 is as follows.

Location 1. at km 6/500 = 2756 vehicles / day
2. at km 39/900 = 2717 vehicles / day
3. at km 90/000 = 3052 vehicles / day
4. at km 109/500 = 3558 vehicles / day

The peak hour flow is around 5.8% to 6.45% of Daily Traffic. This will improve by
separate bypasses for heavily congested town the peak hour volume is likely to
increase. The directional split is 49% and 50% and this will remain, even after carrying
out the proposed improvements.

The projected traffic at the end of 25 year period with an assumed growth factor of 5%
as per IRC guide lines would be around 580 PCUs per hour which is well within 3000
PCUs per hour for a level of service C.


6.2 Road Inventory
A road inventory survey is made for the entire stretch of the project road, from km
2/0 to km 122/00. Detailed observations for all physical and natural elements of the
highway were collected. The major categories listed in this road Inventory included,
the cross road, their type of surface, cross drainage structures including major and
minor bridges existing on the highway, major and minor intersection, railway
crossing, presence of irrigation tank and surplus weirs and other utility services like
electric and telephone cables, optical fiber cables, H.T .power transmission lines and
H.T. transmission tower located near the road. Overhead carryings of power lines are
Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering

6.3 Topographical and Cadastral Survey
6.3.1 Topographic Survey
6.3.1.1 Route Maps
The existing topo maps are scanned and route map prepared. For bypasses topo maps
are prepared on a large scale of 1:25000, duly marked therein the proposed alignments
with take-off km and joining km with the existing NH road.

6.3.1.3 Total Station Traverse Control.
Total station control points at every 250m intervals by using Nikon Total Station. The
residual error within limits have been adjusted and distributed.

6.3.1.4 Height Control
Height control has been provided by fly-leveling using Digital / Auto levels by
connecting to the GTS Bench Mark fixed at the beginning of the project road. This
Bench Mark has been fixed by connecting to a permanent GTS Bench Mark available
in the city and located at about 2km away from the start point of the project road.

The temporary Bench Marks (TBMs) have been established at 250m. interval along the
length of the road on Bench Mark pillars of size 15cm x 15cm square and embedded in
C.C foundation for 30cm depth. The closing error, if found, within the limit have been
adjusted between there Bench mark pillars.

6.3.1.5 Map Compilation
Detail survey has been done for the entire length of the project road for a strip width
of 15m on either side. This is carried out using total stations, commencing and closing
on existing TBM. The horizontal and vertical disclosures within limits have been
distributed within the stretch.

The total station data is downloaded to a computer to generate the drawing on Auto
Civil 3D format. Recognized codes and symbols are used with suitable descriptive
remarks with data capture and text of coding.
Individual project alignment plans for 1km lengths are proposed on 1:2500 scale with
all survey details noting therein all available structures and detail. Separate layers is
used for spot levels and longitudinal and cross section levels.

6.3.2 Cadastral Survey
Cadastral survey is being carried out along the existing and proposed alignment of
the bypasses and an inventory of existing right of way (ROW) and proposed ROW for
the proposed widening to 2 lane and bypasses. Based on the proposed ROW the
requirement of additional land for widening of roads forming of bypasses, Curve
improvement etc. The draft gazette notification No:3 for details of land to be acquired

village wise, taluck wise and district wise will be prepared for submission to
RSRDCC for necessary notification and acquisition of land.

The project road traverse through the administrative jurisdiction of Phalodi and
Jodhpur Town.

6.3.2.1 Existing ROW
The existing project road has a ROW ranging approx. 30.00m. Average width of ROW
in most of the stretches varies between 23m to 30m. Existing ROW has already been
physically demarcated at site and the necessary boundary pillars in cubicle shape
have been fixed at site. Encroachments, if any within the existing ROW will be
removed for utilising the ROW width for the widening proposals. The existing ROW
limits have been clearly shown on the cadastral survey plan and field measurements
sketches.

6.3.2.2 Proposed ROW
For new by passes of the project road, a minimum of 45m width of ROW is required.
At the time of actual preparation of land plan schedule for acquisition of new land,
available width will be taken in to account and accordingly actual requirement of land
will assessed.

6.3.2.3 Additional Land Requirement

6.3.2.4 Cadastral Survey Documents and Computerisation

Cadastral survey is required to generate and inventory of existing ROW and acquiring
additional land required for widening of roads forming of bypasses and new facilities
way side amenities and interchanges / intersections.

The project road traverses through the administrative jurisdiction of Jodhpur districts
of Rajasthan. There are 5 taluks and 16 villages. Adjoining land existing ROW are
mostly private owned.

6.3.2.5 Cadastral Survey Documents

Authenticated cadastral survey maps will be provided from the directorate of survey
and land records. Supporting documents such as Field Measurement Book and
extracts for ownership details are maintained at the local village and district land
office. They will be collected from them at the time of preparation of land plan
schedules. If any shot comings between the village maps and F.R sketches, will be
looked into at the time of L.P scheduler.

6.3.2.6 Methodology

The following details and documents will be collected from the concerned authorities.

1. Cadastral survey plans & F.R.B sketches & ownership details.
2. Identification and listing of effected survey numbers adjoining the existing
ROW, & collections of respective F.R. Sketch & the ownership details.
3. Accurate transferring of existing road alignment on to the cadastral survey
map with the help of identifiable reference points such km stone, details that
appear both on cadastral map & topographic survey plan like, bridge locations
, road center line / boundary, road junction etc.
4. After scaling of existing cadastral survey plan & super imposition of major
topographic survey details survey number limits survey number etc shall be
digitized covering the required width, say 60m on either side.
5. The new road alignment will then be transferred to the cadastral survey plan
and additional area required will be identified.
6. Area of extra land required will be clearly noted and calculated.
7. L.A. statement will thereafter be proposed as per requirement.
8. Separate L.A plan will be prepared for bypass.

6.4 Geometric Design
6.4.1 General
The consultant has reviewed IRC publications and MOST circulars regarding design
standards.

Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering


Page 99 of 166

The consultant has also reviewed as a guide, AASHTO A Policy on Geometric Design
of Highways and Streets, a well-reputed publication used in many parts of the world.

The following design parameters, are recommended to be used in this project.
6.4.2 Design Standards

6.4.2.1 Design Speed
Design speed is the maximum safe speed that can be maintained over a specified
section of highway when conditions are so favourable that the design features of the
highway govern.

The design speed recommended by IRC 73-1980 is for National and State Highways in
plain terrain is the following
taken
Ruling design speed 100km / h
Minimum design speed 80km/h

The terrain for the project road is plain and the existing road alignment is, except in a
few places, good and the Consultant proposes the design speed to be 80km/h.

6.4.2.2 Sight Distances
Sight distance is the length of roadway ahead visible for the driver. The minimum
sight distance available on a roadway should be sufficiently long to enable a vehicle
travelling at or near the design speed to stop before reaching an object on its path.

There are three types of relevant sight distances to comply with when designing
highways:

Stopping sight distance
Overtaking sight distance
Intermediate sight distance

Multilane divided highways are normally designed to have continuously adequate
stopping sight distance. It is though desirable to increase the sight distance, it is
preferable to have intermediate sight distance at least.

The three types of sight distances for different speed are shown in Table 6.3








Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering


Page 100 of 166

Table 6.3

Recommended Minimum Sight Distance for Different Speed

Speed
(km/h)
Safe Stopping Sight
Distance (m)
Intermediate Sight
Distance (m)
Overtaking Sight
Distance (m)
80 120 240 470
100 180 360 640

The consultant propose to design the road for safe stopping sight distance for 80
km/h. We also intend to apply the Intermediate Sight Distance for as much of the
length as can be economically justified.

6.4.2.3 Horizontal Curves
The minimum horizontal radius is limiting value of curvature for a given design
speed and is determined from the maximum rate of super elevation and the
maximum side friction factor selected for design.

In accordance with the IRC the minimum radius of horizontal curve for 100km/h is
360m. & 235m for 80 km/hr.

The use of minimum radius is generally undesirable and it will only be used in
unavoidable circumstances The Consultant is in generally going to use considerably
larger radii in order to achieve a smooth and safe road alignment.

6.4.2.4 Vertical Curves
Vertical curves are introduced for smooth transition at grade changes. The major
control for safe operation on vertical curves is the provision of sufficient sight distance
for the design speed. Minimum stopping sight distance will be provided along the
project road.

IRC recommends vertical curves to be introduced when the grade change is 0.5% or
more for design speed 100km/h. Minimum length of curve shall be 60m for design
speed 100km/h.

In order to increase motorists comfort and in order to provide an aesthetically better
road the Consultant proposes to use longer vertical curves wherever economically
and physically feasible.

6.4.2.5 Gradients
Roads should be designed to encourage uniform operation throughout its length.

The practices of passenger car operators with respect to grades vary greatly, but there
is a general acceptance that nearly all passenger cars can readily negotiate, grades as
Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering


Page 101 of 166

steep as 3 to 4% without appreciable loss in speed below that normally maintained on
level highways.

The effect of grades on truck speeds is much more pronounced than on speeds of
passenger cars. Average speed of trucks on level sections of highway approximates
the average speed of passenger cars. On upgrades the maximum speed that can be
maintained by a truck is dependent primarily on the length and steepness of the grade
and the mass / power ratio, which is the gross vehicle mass divided by the engine
power.

IRC standard for plain terrain recommend the maximum slope 3.3 % which should
not be of any difficulty to adhere to.


6.4.2.6 Side Slopes
The rate of the side slope is a very important safety factor for road design. A side
slope 1:2 will be adopted for the entire length of the project road.

6.4.2.7 Road Furniture
Road furniture proposed to be provided includes road signs, road markings, road
delineators, kilometer stones and traffic barriers.

6.4.2.7.1 Road Signs
Road sign are to be placed in accordance with IRC:67 Code of Practice for road sign.
The signs are proposed to be placed 2 m from the edge of the carriageway.

6.4.2.7.2 Road Markings
Road markings as per IRC:35 -1997 will be made for centre and edge lines using
reflectorised thermoplastic paints. Appropriate road markings will also be provided
at road junctions and pedestrian crossings.

6.4.2.7.3 Road Delineators
Road delineators, in accordance with IRC:79 1981 to serve as roadway indicators,
hazard markers and object markers will be provided .

Reflective road studs will be provided. along the curves and all along the approaches
to interchanges and intersections.


6.4.2.7.4 Traffic Barriers
Crash barriers are used to minimize the severity of accidents involving vehicles
leaving the roadway where the consequences of striking the barrier are less than
leaving the roadway.

Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering


Page 102 of 166

W-Beam metallic crash barriers will be mainly used at high embankments and at
bridge approaches. It will also be provided in bridges between carriageway and
footpath. CC crash barrier will be provided at the outer edge of the footpath in
bridges. The metallic crash barriers will be located at the edge of the shoulder and in
line with the bridge crash barrier.

6.4.3 Typical Cross Sections
No feature of a highway has a greater influence on safety and comfort of driving than
the width and condition of the surface.

The basic principles followed in our design are to develop a cross section based on
guidelines of IRC and if possible to be accommodated within ROW.

The widening of the present road to 2 lane with paved shoulder.
The Consultant has developed four alternative cross sections as explained below.
Typical cross sections are shown in Drawing

Cross section A is to be used on bypass.
Cross section B is to be used for strengthening the existing 2 lane
carriageway and adding paved shoulder to bothsides.
Cross section C is to be used for strengthening and widening of existing
road less than 2 lane to 2 lane with paved shoulder.

Cross Section A
The cross section A is to be used for new formation and bypasses which
consists of a 2 lane carriageway with 1.5m width of paved shoulder and
1.0m width of gravel shoulder.


Cross Section B
The cross section B is to be used for existing 2 lane carriageway
strengthening the widening of paved shoulder of 1.5m wide on both sides.

Cross Section C
The cross section C is to be used for strengthening and symmetric
widening. The roads which are less than 2 lane widened to 2 lane
carriageway with paved shoulders of 1.50m on both sides.

6.5 Road Alignment
6.5.1 Widening of Existing Alignment
The general alignment of the project is mostly adequate except a very few stretches
with poor geometric standards. These parts will be improved to standards adopted
for the project road.

The widening to 3 lane carriageway configuration will normally be arranged by
adding the new carriageway either on left or on right side of the existing carriageway.
The alignment widening will shift from the left to the right depending on field
conditions such as the presence of the electric power lines, telephone lines, Optic Fibre
Cables (OFC) and coaxial cables, nearness of the railway line and railway
embankment and boundary and adjoining tank bund.


6.5.2 Proposed Bypasses
The project road passes through many heavily built up areas with poor road
geometric. Therefore it is essential to provide bypass to these village and towns to
avoid local traffic as also to ensure free and uninterrupted flow of through traffic.

6.5.2.1 Mathania Bypass
The project road passes through the built up area of Mathania village which is located
between km 103/0 to 106/0 of SH-61. The population of Mathania village is approx.
15039. This town consist of industrial area of Mathania. There is lot of traffic due to
local traffic and goods traffic. The village is congested and it also having a Level
Crossing in it.

The proposal alignment will have 2 Lane carriageway with paved shoulder is
proposed.

The Key Map and topo map showing the proposed alignment of the bypass is
furnished in Annexure - 6-4.

6.5.2.2 Ummed Nagar Bypass
The stretch of the project road passes through Ummed Nagar village. After crossing
Ummed nagar there is very sharp hair pin bend, and it it also have junction at this
location. This increases the chances of accidents. So to rectify this deficiency the
bypass before Ummed Nagar is proposed. This also reduces the route by 1.0 km.

The Alignments is show in Annexure -6.5

6.5.2.3 Osian Realignment
The stretch of the project road passes through Osian village. At Osian Mata Temple
there is a T Junction / almost 90 bend at Near Osian Mata Temple entrance area. To
Byepass this sharp band a realignment to by pass this bend has been proposed. It also
bye pass the entrance area of Osian Mata Temple. During Holy days this area
becomes over crowded by pedestrian traffic. This will ease out the route.

Key Map & Topo Map of Osian realignment

The Alignments is show in Annexure -6.6



6.5.2.3 Sharp bend Realignment at km 121
The stretch of the project road passes through a sharp almost 90 bend. Ease out of
curve is not possible as there is a temple inner side of curve. A short realignment near
to railway track has been proposed. This alignment requires demolision of private
property. But not much demolition is required. The good compensation can solve this
issue. Realignment will ease out the traffic at speed of 80km/hr.

6.5.3 Interchanges and Intersections
Interchanges and intersections will be provided to allow for a safe connection to the
project road. The traffic using the existing junctions has been studied and projections
will be made for its future development as well as future volumes of various crossing
and turning movements.

The interchanges and intersection will be designed for maximum visibility for the
different conflicting movements in order to arrive at the safest possible connection.




6.5.3.2 Intersections
Intersections are an important part of the highway because to a great extent the
efficiency, safety and capacity depend on their design.

All intersections shall be designed to provide adequate capacity and maximum safety.

The Consultant proposes two types of intersections:

- Minor intersection
- Major intersection

The minor intersections will be used to connect minor road and will be designed
without traffic islands.

The major intersection will be used to connect major roads to SH-61. The intersection
will be designed with traffic islands as required.

In this project road there are 15 major intersection as shown in Annexure 6.8 (A) & (B)

6.6 Utility Relocation
The proposed widening of the SH-61 will affect various utility services located along
the road. The different types of utilities include fibre optic cable, electrical poles,
telephone poles and high tension cable towers.

The widening of the road is normally taking place on either side of the road and the
utility services on one side of the road will be required to be shifted and relocated to
suitable places. This work will be interacted with concerned service departments and
owners of the utility lines.

In the cost estimate provision for shifting of utility lines are incorporated. Actual cost
estimate will be incorporated in the Detailed Project Report after obtaining cost
estimates from the owners of the utility lines.

6.7 Toll Plazas
The Government of Rajasthan proposes to collect tolls from the users of state
highways. However, these would be levied on isolated sections of the upgraded
highway, as an open system without control of access. Toll plazas shall be constructed
at pre-selected locations on the highway. Initially, semi automatic system of collection
is proposed. This could be upgraded in future to an automatic system.

Toll plazas, to include additional right - of - way, service lanes, toll booths, lighting
and toll booth equipment, would approximately 1% to 2% to the cost of the highway.

In the present context, the collection system should aim to capture the maximum
traffic given the condition of the open system.

Toll plazas should be away from major intersections, on flat ground, in a length of
straight, clear visibility. Sufficient land should be available for future expansion. The
carriageway should be built in concrete in the toll plaza locations in order to take care
of the friction factors involved in acceleration / declaration at toll plazas.

For this project 4 toll Plazas are proposed one at km. 6/500 ahead of Phalodi, at Km
39/900 after Lohawat, at km 90/000 before Mathania and at km. 109/500 after
Manaklao. Provision of toll plazas depends on the viability of the project for collecting
tolls from the users of the project road.

6.8 Parking Areas and Rest Areas
Wayside amenities are very much part of highway projects. They play an important
role in giving relief to drivers and travellers, particularly for long distance travellers,
by avoiding long detours off the highway into normally crowded towns alongside.
These facilities must be comfortable and reasonable. They also must incorporate all
the basic needs of travellers like food, fuel, rest and recreation areas, whilst providing
for basic shopping needs besides providing washing and servicing facilities to the
trucks with repair shops to attend to minor repairs and valcanising facilities.
Alongside these, there could be emergency medical services and public telephone
facilities as well.

Analysis needs to be made of the following in order to select site locations and
requirements:

Inbound and outbound destinations to be served
Accessibility to main traffic arteries
Obstructions such as bridges, underpasses, crossings
Zoning of the site
Proximity to towns, urban / regional plans for vicinity
Utility provisions

Chapter 6 Alignment & Engineering


Page 115 of 166

6.9 Land Acquisition
Land acquisition documents will be prepared in accordance with TOR, and as
outlined in Highway Act. The ROW available at present varies between 25m to 30m
only. The improvement proposal of widening the carriageway to 2 lane with Paved
shoulder does not need any Land Acquisition.
Land Acquisition is needed for new Bye Passes, Easing out of Curves, change of
alignment, Toll Plazas etc.
Acquisition of the extra land by the normal procedure as per Land Acquisition Act,
will take considerable time. A fast track approach is required for acquiring this extra
land since time is of an essence on this project. This could be a achieved by following
the portions of the Rajasthan State Road Development Act which provides for
acquisition of any land for public purposes under the provisions of the State
Highways. This act provides for acquisition of any land required for public purposes.
As per this clause, any required land can be acquired by the Competent Authority
after duly making a notification in the Official Gazette of requirement of the land for
any public purposes.

It is estimated that approximately 68 Hectares of land are to be acquired for forming
the project. Necessary land plan schedules will be prepared as required in TOR.
6.10 Landscaping
Aesthetics of areas surrounding the roadways are a prime consideration in the design
of roads. This must be in line with road safety considerations. Landscaping of the
environment in the vicinity of roads contributes in a number of ways like;

Controls soil erosion
Noise abatement
Safety barrier
Glare reduction at night from oncoming traffic
Visual barrier where required
Indicative guide for direction of traffic movement

It is recommended that local / regional varieties of trees, plants and shrubs should
primarily be used. Amongst the considerations for selection would be tolerance to
pollution, as well as stop the blown sand on the Road, cyclones, particularly in the
case of trees in proximity to the edge of the roadway. Whilst the latter is normally
discouraged, the shade provided by the trees would be of great advantage given the
hot climate of the area.

6.11 Service / diversion Roads

To segregate main traffic from local traffic it is proposed to provide service road on
either side of the main carriageway in the built of areas. The details of service roads
proposed only in the built up area of Osian, which is proposed in the form of the 2.0m
wide Footpaths on both sides of road .

CHAPTER 7
7.1 MATERIAL INVESTIGATION
The main objective of the material investigation report is to determine the strength of
the existing subgrade of the embankment along the alignment. The objectives for
investigations on borrow materials were to ascertain the suitability of the material as a
fill for embankment and use as selected subgrade and to ensure that adequate
quantity of material is available in the identified areas.

Accordingly details soil and material investigations were carried out along the entire
stretch of the project road which includes:

Subgrade soil investigation for road design
Investigation for construction materials

The main focus of the above investigations was to determine the mechanical
characteristics of:

Subgrade soil along the existing alignment
Borrow area soil
Construction materials to be obtained from quarries

7.1.1 Methodology Adopted

The methodology adopted to achieve the aforementioned objective is as follows:
Excavation of trial pit along the alignment
Excavation of trial pits in borrow areas
Determination of disturbed, undisturbed and bulk samples
Laboratory tests on all samples collected from trial pits
Conducting filed CBR using DCP method in locations at the shoulder of the
existing pavement
Laboratory tests on representative samples collected from quarry sites

7.1.2 Scope of Work

Use of excavated soil for use in embankment filling

7.1.3 Material Investigations
The bulk of the materials used in the construction of modern Highway Pavement is
obtained from natural occurring sources. The choice of materials for various
components of Highway pavement calls for vigorous investigation of both quality
and quantity of materials available for economical use on highway projects. The
appropriate choice of materials has assumed more important for highway in the
resent years in view of significant increases in the volume of traffic and axle loads,
variation in sub grade condition and the high level of service expected by user.

Material investigation has been carried out to identify and assess potential sources for
bulk procurement of the following materials.
Road Metal for use as base
Murram/ gravel for use as sub base
River Sand
General fill materials suitable for construction of high embankment

Potential sources of construction materials were identified and located in
such a way as to ensure that:
Sources could produce materials of quality that satisfied construction
specification.
Sufficient sources of each material type were identified.
Where possible, sources for any and materials type were distributed along the
project to minimize haulage.

Samples were obtained from each source and subjected to a testing program. The
testing program adopted was based on the standard construction specifications used
for each material.

The tests carried out on sub grade soil are as under:
In-situ density and moisture content test at each trail pits
Classification test for subgrade type (textured classification) @ 5000m interval
including grain size analysis, Atterberg limits, natural moisture content,
specific gravity, free swell index.
Laboratory moisture density characteristic using modified ASHTO
compaction test method.
Lab CBR at 4 days soaked condition.

The field and laboratory test results conducted are enclosed as Annexure at the end of
the report containing the following:

7.1.4 Subgrade Investigation
Investigations along the existing subgrade have been carried out to assess the
adequacy of the existing pavement layers appropriate to present proposed subgrade
strength, so that, the strengthening and reconstruction requirement can be established
to cater to the design traffic. Objectives of investigation also includes the evaluation of
the existing pavement composition, characteristics of existing subgrade for design of
pavement, by means of in situ and laboratory tests as well the need for further
investigation along the widened part or proposed new alignment.

The existing subgrade characteristics such as the soil classification, their index
properties of plasticity, liquidity index, their moisture content, are evaluated with the
help of trial pits, dug for a size of 1.0m x 1.0m x 1.2m. The subgrade soil samples were
collected from each trail pit. The samples were transported to the Consultants
laboratory as Tricky and the following test parameters were analyzed.

In-Situ density and moisture content at each test pit:
Index properties of grain size analysis and Atterberg limits:
4 days soaked & unsoaked (CBR tests):
Laboratory moisture density characteristics (Modified Proctor Compaction)
The test results of the subgrade soil are furnished in Annexure 7.1

7.1.5 Borrow Area Soil
Subgrade is a layer of soil prepared to stand against the load of road material, traffic
load and environmental conditions. The load on pavement is ultimately received by
the sub grade soil for dispersion to the earth mass. Therefore, it is essential that at no
time the sub grade soil is overstressed, meaning that the pressure transmitted on the
top of the sub grade is within the allowable limit, not to cause excessive stress
condition or to deform the same beyond elastic limit. Soils, that is proposed to use in
sub grade and embankment, are identified from the approved borrow areas and other
locations are located in the vicinity of project road stretch.

Investigation has been carried out to identify and explore the potential sources for
embankment fill material and sub grade material for new alignment and also to assess
the general availability, nature and quantum or materials available for the project. The
borrow area identified for sub grade is from an average lead of 0.5km in selected
quarries along the project road. Soil samples were collected from this and tested for
Gradation, Atterberg limit, Modified Maximum Dry Density / optimum moisture
content and CBR values.

All these parameters are tested in accordance with following IS Standards.

Gain size analysis as per IS:2720 (part 4)
Atterberg limit as per IS :2720 (part 5)
Maximum Dry Density & Optimum Moisture Content as per IS:2720 (part 8)

7.2 PAVEMENT DESIGN

The TOR requires the pavement designs to be prepared for the following:
a. Strengthening of the existing 2 lane road / pavement
b. New pavement for additional carriageways
c. Pavement for shoulder.

To comply with the above requirements, the following IRC codes are followed.
Chapter 7 Material Investigation


Page 123 of 166


1. IRC:37-2001:
2. IRC :81-1997

To design the pavement the following details are required:

1. Predictions of the traffic loads which the pavement is to carry during its design
life. In this, the cumulative total of commercial vehicles is compiled from the
traffic survey conducted.

2. Characteristics of the sub-grade on which the pavement is to be constructed.

3. Characteristics of the materials which are being used in the pavement.

4. For the design of pavement overlays, additional information is required as to
the characteristics of the existing pavement particularly with respect to the
remaining capacity of the pavement to carry traffic loading.

For item (2) above, field investigation program is required to determine the sub-grade
characteristics.

For item (3) above, it has been assumed that the work will be constructed to IRC
standard specification and an investigation program has been undertaken to ensure
that material sources can provide materials that conform to these specifications.

7.2.1 Traffic Loading
In chapter 5, analyses were made of traffic survey conducted and traffic projection at
the end of the design life of 25 years has been arrived at.

In accordance with the requirement of IRC:37-2001, the traffic loading for the design
period and design lane are to be assessed. It is seen from Table 4.18 assumed that the
traffic is more or less equal in both directions. Vehicles constituting the commercial
vehicles are LCV, 2 Axles, 3 Axles and Multi Axles and Multi Axle Semi Articulated
vehicles.

The cumulative number of standard axles has been worked out by adopting the
following formula as per clause 3.3.6.1 of IRC 37-2001 N =

The lane distribution for 2 lane carriageway a factor of 75% is adopted as per clause
3.3.5.1 of IRC 37-2001.

The growth factor of 5% is arrived at adopting the States & Districts Economic
Indicator. As this growth factor is seem to be low, an alternative method was adopted
for working out the growth rate based on Economic Growth of the country as a whole
Past future, and for the state, future.

The Vehicles Damage Factor has been arrived at for different class of vehicle based on
Axle Load Survey conducted. The VDF for various types of vehicles as per Table 4.28
of this report is adopted.

Adopting the above figures the cumulative number of standard axles are worked out
as follows


The cumulative total of commercial vehicles at the end of the design period, say 15
years, is worked out for each location based on the growth rates for medium scenario
and tabulated in Annexure 7.2-01 to 7.2-05.

CHAPTER 8
BRIDGES AND STRUCTURES STUDIES
8.1 GENERAL
The terms of reference (TOR) gives clear directions as to the various tasks pertaining
to brides and culverts to be covered in the Feasibility Report.


There are a number of Flushed causeway Culverts and Nala crossing the project road.
The width of these crossings varies from 7.50m to 12.0m. All these crossing do have
bridge structure with RCC slab superstructure besides these bridge structure there are
a good may culverts of both pipe and slab culverts. Most of the pipe culverts are
having NP2 / NP4 type of pipes only. In respect of super structure, they are R.C.C
Slab.

Detailed Inventory and conditions survey of the existing structures were carried out.
They provided valuable information either for rehabilitation or planning new
structures. The details collected during inventory and condition survey of bridges
were recorded in the format BRIDGE INVENTORY AND CONDITION SURVEY as
prescribed in IRC: SP: 19-2001.

8.2 TYPICAL CROSS SECTIONS
From the condition survey the existing structures were examined either for their
retention or require to be replaced with new structures. In cases of replacement with
new structures the new structures will be constructed one for carriageway of 12 lane
width.

Considering the future anticipated traffic, likely to be generated due to the
improvement proposed in this project and also due to the saving in distance involved
for the through traffic a decision has to be taken whether the new construction of
bridge have to be constructed for a 4 lane traffic. It is seen from other project being
finalized by RSRDCC, RSRDCC has considered the construction of bridge for 2 lane
traffic though the roadway is only for 2 lane traffic. In line with the above, tentative
cross sections are furnished hereunder for bridge for 2 lane width without footpath is
proposed and utilities can be hanged from outside.

8.3 Field Investigations
The field investigations, namely topographical surveys, hydraulic study, geological
investigations, inventory and condition surveys have all been carried out and they are
being studied for improvements on new construction, as the case may be.

Details of investigation and design of structure are show in Volume II. Design
Report for structures.

8.4 Inventory and Condition Survey
8.4.1 Inventory Survey
The detailed inventory of bridge, both major and minor, and culverts comprise of
relevant technical data and general features. In the project road there is no major
bridge.

There are 2 minor bridges. Their substructures are of R.R masonry. Super structures
are of R.C.C slab at km 103.420, 117.500. The clear roadway varies between 6.8m to
11.0m.

The foundation details of these minor bridges are not known as most these structures
are old. But the foundation and other structure seems to be sound.

Of the 2 nos. 1 bridge are to be widened as their formation is less than 12.0m. The
culverts & minor bridges can be retained which is in fair condition except some minor
repair work are needed. The bridge inventory survey details are furnished in the
format proscribed in IRC: SP: 19-2001. and furnished in Annexure -8.01.

8.7 GEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATION & SUB SOIL EXPLORATION
8.7.1 Scope of Work

As per TOR, bore hole requirement for bridges are generally as under.

S.No. Description Location of Boring
1 Over all length = 6 to 30m One abutment location
2 Overall length = 30 to 60m One abutment location
One intermediate location
3 Overall length = >60m Each abutment
Each Pier Location

Requirement of bore hole for various minor and major bridges have been worked out
and geotechnical investigations for bridge have been commenced. Depth of bore holes
and termination of bore holes has been generally carried out as per standard practice.

In addition geological investigations have also been carried out for ROB location at
km.21/6 (existing chainage) and for proposed flyover locations.

The number of bore holes proposed for each bridge & flyover are furnished below.

8.7.2 Methodology of Investigation
All bore holes are of 100mm dia bore holes will be put up using heavy duty calyx rig.

8.7.2.1 Standard Penetration Test
S.P.T to determine penetration resistance will be carried out in the bore holes at 1.5m
intervals, using the prescribed procedure described in IS 2131-198. The Penetration
Resistance- N is the number of blows required to drive the samples for 30cm. beyond
the seating driver. Where it is not possible to drive the samples for full 45 cm the
number of blows for every 15cm penetration has been recorded. When refusal stage is
reached, number of blows for every 30.0cm. is noted under refusal condition, N
values are recorded as more then 50.

8.7.2.2 Sampling
Undisturbed soil samples will be collected at 1.5cm intervals in depth or change of
strata whichever occurs earlier, for laboratory testing.

Chapter 8 Bridges and Structures Studies


Page 156 of 166

Disturbed soils samples shall be collected and enclosed in polythene bags. The work
will be carried out as per IS: 2132.

8.7.2.3 Ground Water Level
The stranding ground water level in the bore hole after stabilisation will be recorded
upto exploration depth during boring and withdrawing the casing pipe.

8.7.2.4 Laboratory Testing

Soil sample collected will be tested in the laboratory for conducting various tests as
listed below related to bore log details.
Natural Moisture Content, bulk & dry density
Sieve Hydrometer analysis & grain size curves
Liquid & Plastic limits
Specific gravity
Primary consolidation test
Direct shear test
Triaxial test
Fines swell index
Swelling Pressure
Shrinkage limits
Modified Procter compaction test
CBR test soaked & un-soaked
Chemical analysis of soil
Silt factor test

Base on the tests results, the bearing capacity shall be computed on the basis of shear
and settlement failure as per IS 6403 & IS 8209 (part-I)

Geo Technical Investigations have been proposed for all the Bridges proposed.
8.7.3 Proposed Design of Structure
Based on the hydraulics and sub soil characteristics the foundation level will be fixed
and the required linear waterway will be calculated both by area reality method and
catchment area and the discharge flowing through the waterway. While fixing the
linear waterway the LWW of the existing bridges.

Will also be taken inter consideration. The road level will be fixed in accordance with
the longitudinal profile of the main highway as well as the minimum flood level.

8.8 SUB SOIL INVESTIGATION FOR CULVERTES

For slab culverts trial pit will be put up at every culvert location to a depth of 2m to
3m and the soil met with will be noted and clarified according to its characteristics.
The depth of foundation will be decided in accordance with the approximate bearing
Chapter 8 Bridges and Structures Studies


Page 157 of 166

capacity of the type of soil met with corresponding to the pressure developed at the
location of the foundation of the structure.

Standard cross-section as per IRC S.P 13-2001 will be adopted for various culverts
according to the span & vent height.

For pipe culverts 1.2m dia internal NP4 type of pipes will be used.

All culverts, slab and pipe, will be constructed to the full formation width with
opening left at the centre for the median portion at slab level. The abutments for the
slab culverts will be constructed for the full length of the roadway.

CHAPTER 9
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACTS
9.1 GENERAL
The environmental and social servicing reports have been prepared after as extensive
survey of the project road by the environment course resettlement expert along with
social survey sub consultant.

9.2 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT
The environmental screening report is under compilation.

The report identified the potential major environmental issues that are likely to be
encountered in the course of executing the road improvement works and established
the need for as environmental screening. The report highlighted the need for
assembling relevant data, analysing there and subsequently making as environmental
assessment based on the analysis.

The report listed applicable statutes, policies and responsible agencies that would be
involved with the project at different stages. The procedures for obtaining
environmental clearance were also explained.

The scope of screening, which would cover topography, soils, rainfall, water resources
air and water quality, nose, roadside trees, area of ecological significant the possible
bypass locations was set out. In addition the need for consultations with local
communities was emphasised.

9.3 SOCIAL IMPACTS ASSESSMENT
The social impact screening report is under compilation.

The need for a social impact study was highlighted & the methodology for conducting
such a study explained.

A pilot study was carried out. On the basis of the study, a sample survey of house
holder was carried out. The data so gathered was analysed with particular reference
to thou below poverty line. They are most vulnerable sections, and hence the social
screening study was thought to focus attention on this category. Special attention will
be paid to the disadvantaged groups below poverty line.

The RAP will deal with the following aspects.
Identification of adverse social impacts
L.A. and payment of compensation costs
Resettlement policy and entitlements

CHAPTER 10
COST ESTIMATES
10.1 GENERAL
The cost of a major road project involves computing the cost of:

1. Road components such as earthwork for embankment, sub-base, base courses
and bituminous surface courses for flexible payment or designed mix concrete
for rigid pavements.
2. Bridge components such as culverts, minor and medium bridges, major bridges
and ROBs
3. Traffic components: such as interchanges, intersections, grade separators.
4. Land acquisition, including compensation to be given for acquisition of
structures.
5. Wayside amenities such as rest areas and Bus stops.
6. Road appurtenances such as km stones, pavement marking and sign boards.
7. Social settlement cost such s rehabilitation and resettlement and environmental
mitigation.
8. Miscellaneous items such as arboriculture and landscaping, communication,
office and residential accommodation for supervisory staff and engineers
including vehicles, removal of utilities etc,
9. Finally, provision for contingencies, and quality control.

For Draft report, the cost of the project has been arrived at after weighing the cost of
all the above components based on preliminary design, unit rates and unit costs.

10.3 Unit Costs
10.3.1 Estimation of Quantities
Typical Cross section for
2 Lane with paved shoulder.
Four lane undivided widening in built up area of Osian (CC Road).
Two lane Paved shoulder with Bypass.

Pavement composition has been designed after preliminary investigation. The soil at
the road corridor is good for sub grade as its have CBR greater than 9. So, there is
need to construct new sub grade in embankment formation. The sub base layers have
been taken to the full width of the embankment to facilitate drainage and give

strength and support to the carriageway. Base on the above cross sections quantities
have been worked out for 1 km length of work for the above 3 clarification of road for
all pavement items.

10.3.2 Cost Estimate for Road Works
Cost per km for the above 3 clarified road have been worked out based on the
quantities worked out wide para 10.3.1 and rates worked out as per para 10.3.2.

The cost of road works for the above 3 classification of road work has been computed
by multiplying cost per km of road with respective lengths of 2 lane widening for
widening and formation of bypasses.

10.3.3 Cost Estimate
There are 23 flushed causeway, 10 Pipe Culverts & 2 minor bridge in the existing SH
stretch. All Flushed causeway converted into RCC Box Culverts and few pipe culverts
which having formation width less than 12.0m, converted in to RCC box culvert. At
new by pass, Mathania to Manaklao 1, 6*6.0 m. & 2, 3*6.0m RCC Slab culvert has been
proposed. All the foundations of the CD Works & Bridges is open foundation.


10.3.4 Slab Culverts
In the existing 1.5 to 2 lane road, there are 2 slab culverts and 2 RCC slab minor
bridges. All the culverts & minor bridges are with RCC slab & Stone Pier &
Foundation. The Condition of Culverts is good they only need minor maintenance
like parapet construction, plastering etc. The slab culverts are having spans varying
from 1.0m to 4.0m. 1 Minor bridge is having formation width less than 12.0m. It
needs to be widened to 12.0m.

Rationalising cost of widening of culvert has been cost of slab culverts.

10.3.5 Pipe Culverts
In the project road, there are 10 nos. of pipe culverts. Of these some of the pipe
culverts are having only NP 2 pipe and of inadequate diameter. These culverts have to
be reconstructed with NP4 type hume pipes. Such of these pipes culverts where there
are already NP4 type pipes, will require to be extended to suit the 2 lane carriageway.
It is proposed to reconstruct all the pipe culverts to RCC Box culvert which having
formation width less than 12.0m.

In addition it is propose to construct required no of culverts in the bypasses.

In the bypass stretches Mathania to Manaklao 4 new minor bridges have to be
constructed.

10.3.6 R.O.B
There is no number ROB proposed in the route. All the level crossing (total No. 5)
except at Mathnia & Manaklao has TVU more than 1.0 lac. LC at manaklao &
Mathania has been by passed with proposed new bypass at Mathania to Manaklao.
10.3.7 Pedestrian cum median vehicular underpass.
There is no pedestrian vehicular underpass is proposed. There is no pedestrian traffic
all along the road is present except at mathania & Osian. Mathnia has been by passed
and for safety of pedestrian traffic 4 lane undivided CC road with paved pedestrian
footpath has been proposed. Schools are present on nearside of the road but cross
traffic is very less as the present PCU is also near about 5000 PCU. So, not much traffic
crosses, this may require may be after 15 years. No future provision taken in this
consideration.
10.4 Land Acquisition Cost
An average ROW width of 30m in road area and 45.0m is from bypass is required for
forming 2 lane with paved shoulders undivided carriageways, considering the
available ROW width acquisition of extra land required has been assessed and based
on local enquiry made, necessary lump sum provision has been made towards land
acquisition.
10.5 Contingencies and Supervision Charges.
Provision for contingencies at 5% and Quality control at 1% has been taken.
Supervision charges are not taken, as RSRDCC a govt. of Rajasthan board is
undertaking to operate this BOT (Annuity) project. Another new charges like,
Guaranteed commission to State Government 1%, A & F Charges 10%, Application
Fees & Front end charges 0.5% has take for this highway. The project cost has been
made towards unforeseen items and variation in the length and costs and L.A
charges, social & environmental settlement and other miscellaneous items
10.6 Construction Cost
Based on the assessed quantities for road work, bridges and culverts and adopting the
rates worked out the total cost for the entire project has been worked out i.e widening
the existing 1 Lane - 2 lane carriageway into 2 lane udivided carriageway with 1.5m
wide paved shoulders and 1.0m wide gravel shoulders on either side as Rs.154.38
Crores for Civil Works and Rs. 6.95 Crores including non-civil works and Rs. 17.09
Crores for Agency & Other charges. Total cost of the work is estimated to be Rs.
179.98 Crores. A statement showing the total cost of the work is furnished in Table
