Brief Summary of project

 Development of 4 lanes inter corridor (Green field alignment) from Amas( old NH-2/New NH-19)
to Shiwrampur under Bharatmala Pariyojana (Lot-5/Package-7) in state of Bihar Package-III
from Ramnagar (Ch. 00+000 to Kachchi Dargah (Ch.14+257)
Proposed Length – 14.257 Km

1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, has decided to

improve the efficiency of freight movement in India. National Highways Authority
of India (NHAI) has been entrusted for preparation of DPR to improve the road
networks in the state of Bihar.

In pursuance of the above M/s. SA Infrastructure has been appointed as

Consultant for preparation of DPR for "Construction of 4lane inter corridor
(Greenfield alignment) from Ramnagar to Kachchi Dargah under Bharatmala
Pariyojana(Lot-5,Pkg-7)Package-III (Km-0+000 to km-14.257) in state of Bihar."

This part of highway starts at Ramnagar to Kachchi Dargah from CH: 0+000 to
14.257(Ramnagar to Kachchi Dargah)in the state of Bihar. The length of the
proposed alignment is 14.257km approx.
This is a green field alignment, access control and is proposed for 4-6-Lane. The
main objective of the proposed project is to reduce the distance and travel time
from NH- 2 to NH-57 and North-Bihar to South Bihar and to give connectivity to
remote areas and major cities. The project lays emphasis on development of
these areas and makes them available with the resources.
The proposed access controlled highway project with new alignment has been
envisaged through an area which shall have the advantage of simultaneous
development as well as shall result in a shorter distance to travel. The junctions
with existing road will be planned in the form of interchanges and flyover to
ensure uninterrupted flow of traffic.

The proposed road would act as the prime artery for the economic flow to this
region. It will enhance economic development, provide employment opportunities
to locals, strengthen tourist development, ensure road safety, and provide better
transportation facilities and other facilities such as way side amenities. Vehicle
operating cost will also be reduced due to improved road quality. The
compensatory plantation and road side plantation shall further improve the air
quality of the region.

Based on the above study the following observations are there:-

Option 1 and 3 leads to more impact on structure and families as number affected families are high as compared to option 2.
If alignment option 1 or 3 is followed then it will leads to more impacts on Environment & Social components, hence Option 2
is followed.
