Subject: Finalization of ToRs for construction of 6 laning of Bangalore- Chennai Expressway from Bangalore (kmO.OOO)to Chennai (km 258.800) including spur alignments in the States of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu by MIs NHAI - Reg.

Dear Sir,

Kindly refer to your above proposal submitted to this Ministry. The project involves construction of 6 laning of Bangalore-Chennai Expressway from Bangalore (kmO.OOO)to Chennai (km 258.800) including spur alignments in the States of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The proposed project is a Expressway and start from the Bangalore - Chennai Section of NH-4 about 415m from Kondaspur, which is to the East of Bangalore and ends at (Km 258.800) -Sriperumbadur. The total length of the Bangalore Chennai Expressway is 258.800 Km and it falls in the states of Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu. The proposed ROWis 90m throughout the project stretch. Spur Alignment - 3 has been provided for connectivity from the industrial town of Kolar Gold Fields (KGF)/ Robertsonpet to Bangalore Chennai Expressway. The Spur-3 alignment takes off from km 51.900 of BCE and is aligned in the Southern direction and the alignment is stopped on MDR connecting SH 95 towards Betamangal and KGF, about 2 km North of KGF as this MDR continues further and passes through KGF, and acts as a connecting road from Spur- 3 to KGF. The alignment ends MDR, at km 4.94. The total length of this Spur Alignment is 2.05 km and is aligned South of Kolar in Karnataka. The proposed RoW of spur-3 is 90 m. About 2295.63 hectares of land is required for the required construction space of Bangalore-Chennai Expressway including spur-3 at Kolar Gold Fields. It includes agricultural, barren lands, forest lands and lands under private ownership. The total design length of the project is 260.84 km including Spur-3 (2.14 km) and the BCE passes through three states which are Karnataka (From Km 0.000 to Km 175.900 & Km 81.800 to Km 83.800), Andhra Pradesh (From Km 75.100 to Km 81.800 & Km 83.800 to Km 164.400) and Tamil Nadu (Km 1 •

164.400 to Km 258.800). One water tank affected due to the project road. 52 nos. of pedestrian and 41 vehicular underpasses are provided for the project road. 9 nos. of major bridges, 153 nos. of minor bridges, 143 box culverts and 2 nos. (Elephant Underpass) are to be proposed.

The land requirement is 224.47 ha of Govt. and 2350 ha of private. The project involves forest land is of 67.12 Ha. The proposed project is passing through the Rayala Elephant Reserve for a length of about 7.083Km. Kaundinya Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at a distance of 2.2 Km from proposed Bangalore-Chennai Expressway.

There are about 125 villages along the project road. The project section passes through 6 districts namely Bangalore Rural, Kolar, Chittoor, Vellore, Kachipuram and Thiruvallur. The proposed Expressway project will require felling of a total number of 1,50,000 trees (average 576 trees per km) within 90m RoW in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu section including spur-alignment in Kolar, which will be inevitable. Efforts will be made to minimize the tree felling to the possible extent. In an average about 21000 KL/day water will be consumed for the project road. The 12600 KL/day surface water will preferably be used for meeting the water requirement for construction to the possible extent depending upon the availability of water in nearby rivers/streams with requisite permission from line department. 8400 KL/day Ground water will be used only in those areas, where there is no source of surface water. The EMP cost is approx. Rs. 149.79 crores, R&R cost is Rs. 2129.45 crores, Civil cost is Rs. 4999 crores. The total cost of the project is 7278.24 crores.
