It is about 2,807km and connecting main develop city like Surat, Baroda, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur. British had started work to build “GOLDEN BRIDGE” in 1877 and completed in 1881, which is part of national highway no 08. From till 1881 to till date it had complete his structure decade year. So the government had decided to construct the parallel bridge. The golden bridge is too old and not so wide it is just one way but it is used in two way Bharuch to Ankleshwar and Ankleshwar to Bharuch. And traffic speed is limited to max 40kmph and after approaching on bridge the road is narrow to drive the vehicle. It causes heavy traffic for hours and both the way are distrusted.Planning for a new bridge has been proposed and government had perhaps the work had started by the “RANJIT CONSTRUCTION”, so people are waiting for the time when they get less traffic on this bridge. Keywords:Bridge, Highway, Traffic, Vehicle, Speed, Accident, Survey I. INTRODUCTION The traffic problem and waste of valuable time of people due to traffic on the national highway no 08. The heavy traffic volume only perceptible the people passing through golden bridge & the inhabitant of ankleshwar and Bharuch. It is well new bridge is being constructed beside the golden bridge is immediate required to console the people of ankleshwar and Bharuch & total economic, transportation & industrial development in ankleshwar, Bharuch, dahej, etc. The 130-year-old historical golden bridge over Narmada river, which connected Bharuch and ankleshwar, has turned golden literally. It include painting, change of bolts, foundation & pillar of the bridge which cost nearly 1.75 crore. The bridge has withstood many floods and natural disaster like earthquake and provides daily load of the transportation from Bharuch to ankleshwar. From golden bridge to ABC cross road there is full rush of the traffic during the day time. At same distances and area there are five academic colleges, hospital & hotels which result more have rush on the old national highway no. 08. Number of pilgrims, college’s students, etc. are travelling on this road which result increasing traffic day by day. Another hand problem on this road is that, the traffic of city area like shaktinath, panchbatti, sarvan chokdi are diverted by the newly fly over bridge named “RUSHIKRUS BRIDGE” in the day time. II. Study Area I have recognized a major problem of a stream of heavy traffics in the city Bharuch. Over a golden bridge to the ABC chokdi line, an intensity of vehicle transportation is very high, this is a reason of heavy traffic on this stream. Most of the students who are using this path for transportation face the traffic problem and get the time lost. Due to this, to reduce the traffic and maintain a flow line of transportation vehicle without any resistance, a project becomes more reliable and useful in the future. As we have found out the project work relate to the traffic in transportation at the collage road, Bharuch. We utilized our time and focused over the type of vehicle and the number of vehicle passes through the golden bridge to ABC root circle. We also did an analysis of the how many of students are facing this traffic problem. We analyzed the area surveyed across the Bharuch and found the most affected areas and its reasons. We have found the numbers per hour’s vehicle transportation of different kinds including fast moving vehicles like two, three and four wheelers and also slow moving bicycles. 61 International Journal of Innovative and Emerging Research in Engineering Volume 4, Issue 3, 2017 Figure 1: Old National highway No. 8 Golden Bridge to ABC Cross Road [Source: Google Map] Figure 2 -3 Traffic on Golden Bridge Figure 4: Traffic on Shital Circle Figure 5: Traffic On College Road 62 International Journal of Innovative and Emerging Research in Engineering Volume 4, Issue 3, 2017 Sources of Data on Exposure to Accident Involvement Risk:- Exposure data contain information on the number and characteristics of the units at risk (irrespective of traffic accident involvement). Depending on the analysis level, the corresponding data can be obtained either from different routine sources or from special-purpose surveys. Sources for risk studies at the trip level: · mobility surveys (trip diaries) Sources for risk studies at the person- or vehicle-year level: · population census data · vehicle registration data · travel surveys · vehicle mileage surveys III. Aim & objectives The aim of our project is to study traffic congestion related issue across Bharuch city, to point out the area that are prone to traffic problems and to come up with solution for it so, our group had taken the area from ABC chokdi to golden bridge. A. Specific objectives: . The following specific objectives were addressed by this study: Traffic congestion points will show the most affected area and will help to work faster for it. Reduced traffic will save time and fuel consumption and hence will result in reduced expenditure. Reduced traffic will result in people spending less time exposed to polluted gases and traffic incidents. Decrease in traffic will result in speedy movement of vehicles which will eventually result in increase in productivity and growth of nation. B. Geography of Bharuch Bharuch is located at 21.7’ N to 72.97’ E. It has an average elevation of 15 meter (149feet). The damming of the Narmada caused the original post facilities to close the nearest port is now dahej. Bharuch has tropical savanna climate moderated by an Arabian sea the summer begin in early march and last until June. April and may are hottest climate, monsoon begin in late June and at end of December end with February temperature around 23’c. IV. Various transportation surveys: . The various types of transportation survey to be carried out for planning process are: Origin and destination Traffic survey Screen line survey Commercial vehicles survey Taxi survey Public transport surveys Parking surveys Pedestrian survey A. Origin and Destination Survey The origin and destination study is carried out mainly to know the origin and destination of various vehicles. In this study, the data collected are, number of vehicles, their origin and destination, number of passengers in each vehicle, route etc. B. Traffic Survey Mid-block counts are carried out on a weekly an all busy roads to study the density of traffic frequently for about 16 hours in order to assess the total daily volume and their composition and peaking pattern as well as their direction. The vehicle counts are generally made and recorded at 15 minutes’ intervals. The volume ratio of road stretches can be obtained from these data in order to help in planning long tern strategies. C. Screen Line Survey Screen line survey refers to volume count conducted at different locations in the study area at crossings along natural barrier like rivers, canals, and railway lines, the main purpose of this survey is to justify of models developed. D. Commercial Vehicles Survey Commercial vehicle surveys are conducted to obtain information on journeys made by all commercial vehicles based within the study area. The addresses of the vehicle operators are obtained; forms are issued to drivers with a request that they record all the particular of the trips they would make. 63 International Journal of Innovative and Emerging Research in Engineering Volume 4, Issue 3, 2017 E. Taxi survey Taxi survey are usually carried out in large urban areas, having a sizeable amount of travel by taxis. F. Public transport survey In order to assess the number of bus passenger passing through an external column, the survey can either be by direct interview with the passengers by issuing post card questionnaires. Direct interview is likely to result in large delays and require a large number of interviews G. Passenger Car Unit Different classes of vehicles such as car, buses, tracks, auto, cycle, etc. are found to use the common roadway facilities without separation on most of the roads. Such a traffic flow is called Heterogeneous traffic flow. V.

  • Crossing the Rivers Crossing the Rivers
    From BB&CI Magazine, December 1924 issue CROSSING THE RIVERS NOTABLE BRIDGES ON THE B.B. & C.I. ROUTE When the project of connecting Ahmedabad and Bombay by a line of railway was first conceived it may be imagined that the projectors, on consulting their maps, must have instantly realized that, as far as the “lie of the land” was concerned, the route was more favourable than the routes of the lines projected to lead eastward, north-eastward and south-eastward from Bombay, the lines that, at all costs, had to be driven through the Ghats. Parallel with the west coast, it was apparent that the southward line to Bombay would, throughout its entire length, be unimpeded by any considerable geological tumuli. So far as that particular source of obstruction was concerned, its path was fairly clear. The terrain was favourable. There remained, however, for recognition the unvarying fact of physical geography that, usually, rivers, however remote their source and however tortuous their course, eventually find their way to the sea; and thus a line of railway extending along a littoral tract for a great distance must naturally be carried over a number of seaward flowing streams at the widest part of their courses. Examination of the position must have shown that although the Western Ghats could be evaded by the proposed line, the rivers draining the Vindhya, the Satpura, and the Aravalli hills, would have to be bridged at the lower end of their courses, and only a short distance from the point where they disembogue into the sea.

  • 1.0 Executive Summary
    PFR for Under Construction Bridge across Narmada River, Nr. Golden bridge on old NH-8, Dist.: Bharuch, State: Gujarat 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Roads and Buildings Department (R&B) – Bharuch has started development of a new bridge adjacent to the Golden Bridge across Narmada River in Bharuch district of Gujarat, India. The site is located approximately 0.5 km from densely populated Bharuch city. The proposed bridge would serve as an important public infrastructure facility on the existing busy NH-8 and SH-76. NH-8 is an important component of the Golden Quadrilateral and is one of the busiest highways of the country. The proponent R&B Department – Bharuch has already started bridge construction across Narmada River. Due to tidal influence of sea, it attracts violation of CRZ Notification, 2011 under Environmental Protection Act – 1986. The proposed bridge is under construction parallel to the Golden Bridge. The Golden Bridge traces its history back in 1881 when the British constructed it. During those days, the British needed a bridge across the Narmada River to create better access to trade and administration officials in Mumbai (then called Bombay). The Bridge is also called Narmada Bridge. It has a length of 1462 m and is considered an important architecture which connects Ankleshwar to Bharuch in the Gujarat state of western India. The Golden Bridge has seen many natural disasters like floods and earthquakes, but it has stood for 132 years, providing daily transportation to the people of Ankleshwar and Bharuch. In recent times too, the Golden Bridge is considered as an important route for PCUs, since heavy transportation vehicles are not allowed on this bridge considering its design parameters and loading capacity.
