The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been entrusted with implementation of the development of this corridor from Ministry's Plan Funds. The ‘project comes under NHDP-Phase-VII of NHAL “The proposed ring road connecting/ bypassing National Highways NH-3, NH-59 and NEL59A and all of thom are very busy and important highways, NH-3 is connecting tnetropalitan city Mumbai and historical city Agra. The project road corridor starts from km 591/1) of NH-3 (North of Indore) and ends at km 20/680 of NH-3 (Mhow bypass, South of Indore) crossing Ujjain road, Depalpur road and Dhar Road (NH-59) for Wester Side Ring road. Likewise Eastern Sice Ring Road starts from km 589.6 of NH-3 (North of indore) and ends at km 17/4 of NH-3 (south of Indore) crossing Nemawar road and Khandwa Road (NH-594}. “The project road is divided into 4 paris as mentioned in the Master Plan these are as follows in Table 1.

Connecting NH-3 to NE-59A (Lasudiya Parmar to Dudhia) about 19.95km, 4, Connecting NH-59A to NH-3 km 17/4 on NH-3 (Dudhia to Rau) about 20,61km. Project Description Consultant was communicated by the NHAI, vide letter No RO/MP/Indore ring road /09-10 date 17th November 2009, that NHAI had already taken up the six laning of existing four lane of Indore-Dewas Section of NH-3, from km 577.550 to km 610,000 and from ken 0,000 to km 12.600, on DBFOT pattern, under NHDP Phase-V. This proposal of NHAI includes the Indore bypass, which has becn found more or less parallel to Eastern Side of Ring Road (ESRR). Further it was conveyed that the DPR for the Indore Ring Road may be prepared as recommended below: 1. The DPR shall be prepared in two segments: Half Ring on Western side of existing NH-3 bypass: This half ring would take- off from NH-3 neat Raukheri, and crosses Ujjain Road (H-27), Depalpur road, Dhar Road {NH-59), Pithampur road and would meet Mhow bypass (NH-3) near Umaria village, i.e, between Mhow {km 12500 } and Umaria (km 18.00). Hereafter it shall be termed as Western side Ring Road (WSRR) segment of IRR. » Half Ring on Westem side: It would have the take-off and merging point of the half-ring of above said WSRR, en-route it would cross the Khandwa Road (SH- 27) and Nemawar Road (NH-59A}. Hereafter it shall be termed as Eastem Side Ring Road (ESRR) segment of IRR. Scope of Services The scope of consultancy services demand a very high level of professional competence with optimal approach to meet all the objectives stated above as it would require review of all available studies, data, records, information interaction with concerned agencies and identification of constraints besides carrying out necessary traffic surveys.

The key improvements anticipated are: + savings in tavel time - from faster vehicle speeds and reductions in travel time; + reduced cargo delays - also from faster vehicle speeds and reductions in travel time: + reduced vehicle operating costs and passenger comfort- from improved riding, surfaces: «reduced maintenance costs - from higher quality infrastructure; «reduced accidents - mainly as a result of reduced travel time and separate Highway for coming and going vehicles; A large volume of generated traffic is forecasted. This will be traffic stimulated by the reduction in travel costs and associated with new economic development and deriving, amongst other things, from: + New businesses, including those from increased passing, trade. In addition to the above, there should be: «an overall reduction in problems from exhaust emission; = improved drainage; and + Some unit reductions in exhaust emissions and traffic noise levels, ‘A wide range of short-term negative impacts are, however, envisaged ducing construction - these include: disturbance to wildlife and settlements; localised dust pollution; increased sediments in water bodies; small-scale erosions and health hazards Amongstconstruction workers and those residing, in nearby settlements. However, most of these can be adequately mitigated through: practicing Environmente! Friendly Road Construction techniques; proper location of construction camps; and equipping construction sites with adequate medical facilities. he major long-term negative impact will be the permanent loss of about ‘Totel= 6502 tress (ESRR ~4873 and WSRR- 1629) enists on agriculture land. This can, however, be mitigated by plantation under compensatory afforestation. There may also be some small-scale temporary impacts on wildlife habitats. However, investigations show that this is nol a significant issue for important protected species. Removal of only necessary vegetation during construction, and thereafter she maintenance of forest cover on both sides of the Highway, will help minimise long-term negative impacts.
