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 NHAI. The proposed ring road connecting/bypassing National Highways NH-3, NH-59 and NH-59A and all of them are very busy and important highways. NH-3 is connecting metropolitan city Mumbai and historical city Agra. The project road corridor starts from km 591/0 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 Western Side Ring road. Likewise Eastern Side 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-59A). The project road is divided into 4 parts as mentioned in the Master Plan these are as follows in Table 1.

It is about 2.5 km to 5 km away from inner ring road comprising existing NH3 bypass and missing link on other side of existing NH3. The proposed ring road will connect all National Highways around the Indore city like: 1. Connecting NH-3 to NH-59 (Rau to Kalaria) about 10.72km. 2. Connecting NH-59 to NH-3 (Kalaria to Raukheri) about 31.67km. Executive Summary 0- 1 THE Louiis Berger Group,, Inc.. 4 Lane Ring Road to Indore City in the State of Madhya Pradesh Executive Summary 3. Connecting NH-3 to NH-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 km 0.000 to km 12.600, on DBFOT pattern, under NHDP Phase-V. This proposal of NHAI includes the Indore bypass, which has been 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 near Raukheri, and crosses Ujjain Road (SH-27), Depalpur road, Dhar Road (NH-59), Pithampur road and would meet Mhow bypass (NH-3) near Umaria village, i.e. between Mhow (km 12.500 ) and Umaria (km 18.00). Hereafter it shall be termed as Western side Ring Road (WSRR) segment of IRR. Half Ring on Western 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 Eastern 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. In this regard the Consultants are advised that the State Govt of Madhya Pradesh has already finalized an alignment for the proposed ring road/bypass. The Consultants are required to review the preliminary study carried out by the State Govt. in addition to the envisaged scope of work. Detailed scope of consultancy services shall thus cover but be not limited to the following major tasks i) Carry out the preliminary survey by using satellite or appropriate technique for fixing of suitable alignment amongst various alternatives for a ring road around Indore city on the basis of Technical & Financial viability which shall be designed as partially/fully access controlled facility. ii) Conduct Traffic studies including traffic surveys and future demands / forecasting of identified connection. iii) Carry out Satellite and detailed topographical survey of the alignments indicating the revenue survey numbers, maps, extent of land to be acquired; contours at every 5 m interval. iv) Rough cost estimation of various prospective connections with regard to quantum of work pertaining to rehabilitation / up gradation and improvement on the basis of highway/pavement design, provision of service roads, suitable grade separated intersections, underpasses / flyovers / ROB’s, rehabilitation / construction of bridges / structures, road safety features etc. Executive Summary 0- 2 THE Louiis Berger Group,, Inc.. 4 Lane Ring Road to Indore City in the State of Madhya Pradesh Executive Summary v) Analysis of expected financial return through toll and other revenues taking into account of the effect of other Peripheral roads and Radial Roads in the vicinity of these cities which are either tolled or are being taken up or already taken up under BOT projects.
