Bus Rapid Transit System, Amritsar, Punjab CorridorComparative Constraints Analysis and Considerations
Constraints 1) Bhandari Bridge being single major Rail Over Bridge is the biggest constraint in corridor planning; 2) Elevated road along Chandigarh Road; 3) High tension line along and across Verka Road (also along Chandigarh Road) reduces effective RoW; and 4) Ram Bagh being an ASI conserved site restricts any type of construction within 100m from the site boundary. 5) Railway Crossing before Verka Railway Station
Considerations 1) Existing elevated road is considered for BRT operations by providing curb side BRT stops through retro fitting flanged structures; 2) Integration with proposed PRT stations to extend connectivity to walled city area 3) Road adjacent to Ram Bagh is considered for BRT operations
