4.1 Planning of the Traffic Survey

During the reconnaissance survey of the project road in April 2017, the possibility of diversion to or from the project road, if there was any, were duly examined while identifying the traffic survey locations. Traffic survey locations were identified in conjunction with the surrounding road network of the project road stretches. The network was also verified by visiting all the associated road junctions and links so as to assess the traffic levels and logistics that will be required for traffic surveys. To capture traffic flow characteristics and travel pattern of users passing through the project road and other characteristics related to miscellaneous requirements of the ToR, the following primary traffic surveys were planned and conducted.

. Automatic Traffic Classified Count / Manual Classified Traffic Volume Count . Junction Volume or Intersection Turning Movement Count (TMC) . Origin-Destination and Commodity Movement Survey (OD) . Speed and Delay Survey . Pedestrian / Cross Movement Count . Axle Load Survey

. License Plate Survey . Road Safety Assessment

Traffic survey stations for carrying out the traffic volume count survey, OD survey as well as the axle load survey were selected considering the following parameters:

. The station should represent homogeneous traffic section . The station should be outside urban area and local traffic influence . The station should be located in a reasonably level section of the road with good visibility (preferably straight section).

The finalized survey location maps are presented in Figure-1, schematically shown in line diagrams in Figure-2 and details are given in Table 1-1.

4.5 Speed and Delay Survey

A speed and delay survey using the moving car observer method was carried out by dividing the each project road corridor in to different section. This survey provides data for assessing running speed, journey speeds signifying any unreasonable congestion levels. Journey speed is the effective speed of a vehicle between two points. It is determined by the distance between two points divided by the total time taken by the vehicle to complete the journey, including all delays incurred en-route. Running speed is the average speed maintained by a vehicle over given course while the vehicle is in motion. The summary of the speed and delay analysis is given in Table 1-5.

4.7 Traffic Forecast

Elasticity of Transport Demand (ETD) technique is used in traffic forecast, which is based on historical growth in vehicle registration and trend of the economy in the area. Traffic growth rate is estimated for different modes of traffic that are likely to use the project road in future. The likely diverted, induced and generated traffic has been added to arrive at the future traffic for each of the homogeneous sections. The projected traffic for each of the homogeneous sections is presented in Table 1-7.

4.8 Capacity and Level of Service Analysis

The widening proposals based on the IRC: SP: 73-2015 and IRC: SP: 84-2014 are given in Table 1-8 below.

Table 1 - 8 Year-wise Improvement Proposal Based on IRC Codes Recommendations Homogeneous Section 2–lane with paved 4–lane with paved 6–lane with paved shoulder shoulder shoulder HS 2 2021 2025 2047 HS 3 2021 2026 2047 Source: Feasibility Study carried out by ICT Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

As per MoRT&H MO. no NH-12019/6/2012-P&M dated 05.10.2012, minimum final level for widening /development of a NH should be 2 lane with Paved shoulder. Further, as per the circular issued by Ministry of Road Transport and Highways SR&T (Roads), RW/NH-33044/37/2015/S&R(R) dated 26th May 2016; all the roads with traffic more than 10000 PCUs are to be proposed for four laning.

Considering this Homogenous sections 2 and 3, Kothi to Maihar stretch would require 4 laning from the year 2025 and 2026 respectively. However; as per Office Memorandum of MoRTH dated 3rd May 2018, the minimum lane configuration for all inter corridors and feeder route shall be 4 lane. Hence, 4 lane with paved shoulder configuration has been proposed for the entire stretch.

5.0 ALIGNMENT IMPROVEMENT PROPOSAL

During the course of the detailed site investigations, the Consultants examined both the option of improvement & widening of the existing road. however, due to presence of habitations along the existing road and to avoid dismantling bypasses / realignments possibility has been explored. Wherever the existing road geometry does not confirm to the IRC standard, geometric improvement has been considered.

5.1 Improvement and Widening of Existing Road

The consultants have carried out detailed topographic survey of the existing alignment along with other engineering investigations. The existing road is deficient in geometrics and improving the geometrics will involve higher social unrest due to dismantling of road side structures. Further, there are some major bottlenecks for widening and improvement.

Construction in hilly section will involves large scale fills and cuts along existing alignment, large scale protection works which will resulting to interruption of traffic flow during construction even if closer of road network also. The project road is carrying medium to heavy traffic and becomes eligible for capacity augmentation to 4 / 2 lanes with paved shoulder. With existing geometrics and terrain / R&R constraints it is not feasible to widen the existing road alignment to four lanes for the entire length for which the standards are even more stringent.

Considering the above facts, it is apparent that improvement & widening the existing road will be possible for some length and not for the entire length. Hence for improvement and widening of the existing road, some alternative proposals of Re- alignments / Bypasses / Tunnels need to be examined. The Consultants has accordingly worked out the alternative proposals and the evaluation criterion for widening proposals is as follows:

. Technical Considerations – Geometric, movement of traffic during construction, earthwork, cross drainage works, junction layout, relocation of existing utilities, bypasses, construction costs, and maintenance costs.

. Environmental Consideration – land use change, location of water bodies, river / canal / stream crossing, location of protected areas / critically polluted areas / eco- sensitive areas / forest etc.

. Social Consideration - Area of land acquisition, type of land acquisition, location of religious places / educational institutions / medical amenities / drinking water sources, resettlement and rehabilitation problems and costs.

5.2 Possible Re-alignments / Bypasses / Tunnels

Based on the study of the existing alignment, some section of the existing road can be upgraded / widened while some section will require realignments / bypasses. The provision of realignments / bypasses will enable proper improvement with minimum

Page 12 Project : Four laning of Kothi-Satna- Maihar Section of NH 135BG from km 55.000 to km 76.960 (Package-II) and km 80.800 to km 119.535 (Package-III) under Bharatmala Pariyojana in the State of Madhya Pradesh Document : Feasibility Report Month: Oct 2018

resettlement. The major realignments / bypasses which have been examined are broadly enumerated below: Table 1 - 10 Possible Locations of Realignments / Bypasses Sl. No Location Type of Constraint 1 Satna Congested town with Sub-standard geometry 2 Uchehra Congested town with level crossing 3 Maihar Congested town with Sub-standard geometry Source: Feasibility Study carried out by ICT Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

The comparative evaluation for the bypass to select the final alignment is based on technical suitability; traffic needs, minimum environmental & social impacts, operating benefits and construction ease. The study and analysis has been based upon Google Earth Imagery and ground survey.

5.3 Analysis of Alternatives

A. Homogenous Section-2 between Km. 59+750 to Km.81+900 (Kothi to Satna) - Design Chainage 58+200 to Km 80+800

The alignment crosses SH-52 (Panna-Rewa) near Kothi at km 59+750 (design chainage Km 58+200) and then follow the existing road and newly constructed Kothi bypass. The construction work of Kothi bypass including construction of bridge was under progress. Then the alignment follows the existing alignment up to Santa and there is no major settlement except Khujha village in between. Along the existing alignment in Khuja village there are graveyards close to existing road on both sides. Considering the sentiment of local villagers, a small realignment has been proposed for a length of 2.15km (design chainage Km 70+300 to Km 72+450). The planned Panna- Satna railway line will cross the existing road at Km 78+800.

Then the alignment follows the existing road upto Satna (Junction with NH 39). Within Satna municipality, the existing road crosses NH 39 (old NH 75), West Central Railway line and there are 4 right angle junctions. In addition to these junctions, there are about 12 sub-standard curves which required improvement. The clearance between the building lines is about 15m. The existing road crosses the railway line with RUB having clearance of about 4m. Improvement along existing as per IRC codal provision may not be feasible and will involve large scale demolition of structures. Hence to avoid these hindrances for improvement a bypass option has been explored.

It may be noted that, during the site visit of Member (P) on 20th June 2017 and 21st June 2017, it was discussed to use the existing under construction bypass on West- North quadrant of MPRDC and then the alignment of existing ring road on West- south quadrant which joins the existing project road near Satna River. There is an under construction bypass on West- North quadrant by MPRDC and the work has been stopped due to litigation. The bypass for NH39 (MPRDC) will be used as common section for a length of about 2.84 km and existing ring road for a length of 6.2 km.

During discussion with MPRDC official, it has been learnt that, the balance work of Satna bypass for NH 39, has been initiated by MPRDC for completion. After discussion with NHAI, the stretch from Km76+960 to Km 80+800 (design chainage along bypass) has been excluded for improvement. The bypass length along the Satna ring road is about 11.9 km involving crossing of railway line. A bypass alignment is given in Figure-3 below.

Beyond Satna, the project road follows the existing alignment on left side of the parallel West Central Railway line up to Uchahera level crossing. The distance between both centerlines is minimum about 20m and the available land on railway side is as least as 10m. Widening on railway side is not feasible and hence widening on left side has been proposed. However there are ribbon developments along the existing road due to close proximity of twin town (Maihar and Satna). At Uchahera, the project road crosses the railway line with a manned level crossing near LC no 382 and right angle turning approaches. Then the road passes through Uchehra settlement with 13 substandard curves having least value of 30m. As explained in chapter 5, construction of 4 laning by MPRDC inside Uchahera could not complete due to litigation of land acquisition. Hence improvement along existing road will involve improvement of sub-standard curves and acquisition of additional land which concluded to demolition of structures. There are

Page 14 Project : Four laning of Kothi-Satna- Maihar Section of NH 135BG from km 55.000 to km 76.960 (Package-II) and km 80.800 to km 119.535 (Package-III) under Bharatmala Pariyojana in the State of Madhya Pradesh Document : Feasibility Report Month: Oct 2018

about 570 private structures including 6 religious structures along the road. The extent of settlement is about 2 km on right side and hence bypass on right side will involves larger length.

Therefore, bypass option on Left side (East Side) has been explored and layout of the proposed bypass options is shown in Figure-4. The bypass length is about 7.625 km involving crossing of railway line.

Figure-4 Alignment Proposal of Uchahera Bypass

Beyond Uchahera, the project road follows the existing alignment on right side of the parallel railway line up to end point (Maihar). At some location the railway line is about 25m from the project road and hence right side widening has been proposed. At the end point before joins with NH 30 (Old NH 7) the project road crosses congested market area of Maihar town.

There are about 6 sub-standard curves having least value of 10m which required improvement. The clearance between the building lines is about 20m. Improvement along existing as per IRC codal provision may not be feasible and will involve large scale demolition of structures. Hence to avoid these hindrances for improvement a bypass option has been explored. The Maihar town is extended up to Maihar Temple on right side(west side) where as there is negligible development on left side due to presence of railway line. Considering development on right side and religious activities near Maihar temple (Sarda temple), bypass on right side is not feasible. A bypass option on left side has been explored and layout of the proposed bypass is shown in Figure-5.

Page 15 Project : Four laning of Kothi-Satna- Maihar Section of NH 135BG from km 55.000 to km 76.960 (Package-II) and km 80.800 to km 119.535 (Package-III) under Bharatmala Pariyojana in the State of Madhya Pradesh Document : Feasibility Report Month: Oct 2018

It may be noted that, during the site visit of Member (P) on 20th June 2017 and 21st June 2017, it was discussed that the termination point of the proposed bypass with NH 30 should be near the under construction bypass of NH 30 for Maihar. The bypass length of this option is about 6.02 Km with involving crossing of railway line.

Bypass on Left side

Existing Road, Improvement may not be feasible

Figure-5 Alignment proposal of Mahiar Bypass

The section from MPRDC Bypass to Maihar involves 3 bypasses for a length of about 25.525 km. Further to avoid the railway colony and substandard curves along existing realignment at 3 locations involves about 2.2 km. Hence the existing road length used for improvement is about 13.125 km only (From Km 92+420 to Km 116+200). Due to ribbon development this option using existing road involves large scale demolition of structures which will attract social unrest. There are about 5 religious structures along the existing road which needs to be relocated.

During the PATSC meeting held on 28th Feb 2018 for Satna to Maihar section, the alignment was discussed in details and it was instructed to explore green field option as use of existing length is very less. Considering above facts another option such as a combined green field alignment from Satna to Maihar has been explored to avoid the above hindrances.

A comparative study was done between a green field option and use of existing road including 3 bypasses:

. Option I : Green field alignment (Km 80+800 to Km 119+535) . Option II : Along existing with 3 bypass (Km 80+800 to Km 121+800)

The impact of change in land use pattern is clearly visible in between the twin such as Satna and Maihar. Further this urbanization multiplies the impact on structures along existing road and disturbances to utilities. There are about 1480 nos. of valuable and fruit bearing trees needs to fell down for improvement. These changes may leads to social unrest as well as environmental degradation.

Although the length of bypass in case of Option-I is more by 13.19 km than option II, the option II involves 2 more ROBs and the length difference of ROB structures is about 1932m. The additional cost component for these structural lengths (1932m length) is about 111.384 crores. This additional cost can be replaced by 12.70km length of green field alignment (on the basis of normative cost rate). Considering this analysis, the bypass length in both the case is equivalent. However, the total length of Option-I is 3 km less than Option-II.

The land acquisition cost in case of option I (Rs. 344.5 Crore) is less than option II (Rs. 406.5 Crore). This difference is due to involvement of land along existing State Highway where the land rate is higher than green field. It may be seen from above that the civil construction cost in case of option I is less than option II.

Based on the above comparison and considering the constraints involved with option II, the bypass option on left side (Option I) is recommended. A trumpet interchange at the end point of the bypass has been proposed for smooth turning movement.

6.4 Geometric Design Standards

General Considerations

a) This section lays down the standards for Geometric Design and general features for upgrading the existing roads to 2 lane and 4 laning divided carriageway configuration. b) The Geometric Design of the Project Highway shall conform to the standards set out in this chapter as a minimum. c) The uniformity of the Design Standards shall be maintained throughout the length. d) Existing Horizontal Curves, which are found deficient in radius, layout, transition lengths or super-elevation shall be corrected to the specified standards. Similarly deficiencies in the vertical alignment shall also be addressed.

Geometric Design Standards for the Project Road have been drafted based on the following Guidelines:

. Manual of Specification and Standards for Two Laning of Highways with Paved Shoulder (IRC:SP:73-2015) . Manual for safety in Road Design by Government of India, Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (Road Wing –September 1998) .

However, based on the Life Cycle Cost Analysis, rigid pavement has been recommended for main carriageway.

6.6 Hydrological Design and Recommendations

Data collected from the site were collated and studied along with the Google Earth Imageries. The Design Approach has been formulated through careful examination of the field data collected and the following additional pieces of data:

Page 23 Project : Four laning of Kothi-Satna- Maihar Section of NH 135BG from km 55.000 to km 76.960 (Package-II) and km 80.800 to km 119.535 (Package-III) under Bharatmala Pariyojana in the State of Madhya Pradesh Document : Feasibility Report Month: Oct 2018

. Local inquiries, road / culvert inventory, HFL, history of flooding/ overtopping, mean annual rainfall, regional runoff coefficient, . Survey of India Toposheets – land use, soil type, cover condition and slope . 30m, SRTM Digital Elevation Model (DEM) to analyze the river catchment characteristics in GIS platform. . Rainfall / runoff data published in “Flood Estimation Report for Subzones 1(c), 1(d) and 3(f)”– Isopluvial maps for design storms of 24 hour duration with 25 year and 100 year return period. . Visual inspection – bed level, clearance, HFL, Overtopping, vegetation cover, flood plain, blockage/sedimentation, flow direction, terrain, embankment height, scour.

Hydro-Meteorologically Homogenous Sub zones: For estimation of Design Flood, The Central Water Commission (CWC) has divided the whole Geographical Territory of India into 26 distinct hydro-meteorologically homogenous Subzones. The proposed project area comes under Subzone 1(d).

Design Rainfall: Relevant data have been taken from the Flood Estimation Reports of concern subzones of CWC. The Tables 1-19 shows the 24-hr maximum point rainfall values (from Isopluvial Maps of different Return Periods) generally adopted for the study area:

Basin Parameters: The watersheds of the rivers / streams at the proposed crossing points have been delineated with the help of Google Earth Imagery and ArcGIS 10 Software. The watershed area, fall in height, total and segmental stream lengths and corresponding elevations have also be determined with the help of GIS Software.

Estimation of Design Flood . Determination of Design Discharges have been done in line with the stipulations of IRC-5:2015, IRC-SP:13-2004 and standard engineering practices. . For streams having catchment areas more than 25 sq. km, SUH Method as stipulated in the Flood Estimation Report of CWC has been followed. . For catchment areas less than 25 Sq. Km, Rational Method in general has been followed. Empirical Methods (Catchment Area Method using Dicken’s Formula), without any assigned return period, has been used as a check for the adopted Design Flood. . For catchment area more than 5000 Sq. Km. is divided into sub basin areas and SUH method has been applied to calculate design flood of each sub basin. The estimated design flood of each individual sub basin is then routed to bridge location by Muskingum channel routing method. . Slope Area Method demands accurate information regarding HFL at the particular crossing point. During site visit, sincere efforts were made to collect reliable

information regarding Highest Flood Levels (at proposed crossing point) of memorable past. . However, HFL information received from local enquiries are not reliable enough to be used for determination of design discharges for the bridges. Therefore, the design discharge has not been estimated using slope area method.

Since, the project road meets and crosses various State Highways and National Highways, Flyovers, VUPs/VOBs has been recommended at various locations. Summary of the structures are given in Table 1-22. For smooth merging & diverging of local cross road traffic, at grade intersections have been proposed at the locations where bituminous roads are connected to the project road. No junctions are proposed at the locations where unpaved / earthen roads are connected to the project road.

6.10 Toll Plaza

The project road is not an access controlled facility and thus it is not possible to toll all the traffic plying on every kilometer of the project highway (in case of proposing the project under BOT). Also the possibility of diversion of traffic to / from alternate route to project road corridor has been thoroughly examined and considered in the traffic forecast. Based on the toll policy 2008 and lengths of project road, 1 toll plaza has been proposed. Proposed Toll Plaza Locations along with their coverage area and total traffic are given in Table 1-23.

Table 1 - 23 Proposed Toll Plaza Location Toll Plaza Homogenous Location Total Traffic (Year 2017) Tollable Traffic (Year 2017) No. Section (Km) Vehicles PCUs Vehicles PCUs TP-2 HS-3 109+100 6130 7040 2807 5066 Source: Feasibility Study carried out by ICT Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi

Based on notification issued by NHAI dated 12.6.2007, ”Guidelines for Preparation of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs)”, the number of lanes at any toll plaza cannot be less than four times the number of lanes for which the highway has been designed. Hence 2x(5+2+1) lane toll plaza has been proposed.

6.11 Passenger Wayside Amenity

As per MoRTH Guidelines dated 12th December 2012 for providing “Research and Test (ResT) reaches along National Highways”, 1 passenger wayside amenity at every 50 km, will be established. Rest area provides useful services to the road user. These facilities provide services to the users who desire to stop for rest, refreshment, information and fuelling or for some emergency requirement. Rest Areas shall have

Ltd., New Delhi

7.2 Economic and Sensitivity Analysis

The Economic Analysis has been carried out within the framework of a social cost- benefit analysis, primarily based on a comparison of the vehicle operating cost (VOC) and other users’ costs between two alternatives: (i) “with project”; and (ii) “without project,” i.e.- the base case or do minimum case. The value of EIRR shows that the investment proposal in the Project is economically viable based on VOC and VOTT analysis, as the value is more than the benchmark rate of 12%, i.e. the cut-off point considered for viability analysis for similar projects. And the net present value (NPVs) at the discount rate of 12% also supports the viability of investments in the Project Road.

Table 1 - 27 Results of Economic Analysis Project Name EIRR (%) NPV (Rs. in million)

From the above tabulated results of economic and sensitivity analysis, it can be observed that, the project is economically viable for in case of base case as well as in case of different scenario of sensitivity analysis. The Implementation of the project road is highly desirable for the economic development of the region considering the stretch as feeder route for the economic corridor and macro level as well. Hence, development of the project roads should be taken up for implementation without any delay in view of full realization of benefits to the road users and the community along the Project influence area.

7.3 Mode of Implementation

The Financial Analysis indicates the proposed project road is not viable financially even with a grant of 40%. Hence, it is not feasible to implement on BOT basis and also EPC mode. Hence, all the packages are recommended to be implemented under Hybride Annuity mode (HAM).

8.0 LAND ACQUISITION

According to the preliminary data collection total land to be acquired for the proposed project road is 406.513 hectares; out of which 367.007 hectares is private land and 39.507 ha is government land. The area is excluding the area that already lies with NHAI in terms of existing roads falling in the alignment. All the information, which has been reported here are on the basis of preliminary data collected from the field, of the data has been assessed and analysed by professional expert. This report will be updated when the final data of land owners will be obtained from the field verification. Package wise summary of land acquisition are given in Table 1-29.

9.0 PROJECT BENEFIT

Direct Benefits: Major benefits that are likely to accrue from the project road include:

. Stimulus for further development in the region along with increase in employment opportunities; . Improved road network benefiting the local people including businessmen, traders, merchant, tourists and long distance motorists; . Reduction in travel time, distance as well as transportation cost will be reduced; . Boost for socio-economic and tourism development along the project road;

Page 30 Project : Four laning of Kothi-Satna- Maihar Section of NH 135BG from km 55.000 to km 76.960 (Package-II) and km 80.800 to km 119.535 (Package-III) under Bharatmala Pariyojana in the State of Madhya Pradesh Document : Feasibility Report Month: Oct 2018

. Income of vulnerable and poor people will be increased; . Facilitate the provision of extension and social services by the government, NGOs and other voluntary institutions; . Possible employment of semi-skilled and unskilled people living along the project road alignment and its adjoining villages during the construction and operational period; and . Better driving conditions and road safety.

Indirect Benefits: As quantified above, the most direct beneficiaries of this project roads are road users, i.e., the population living along project road, vehicle owners, as well as passengers traveling in private and public transport etc.. There will be benefit from reduced transportation costs and travel times between the connected and regions, and much improved traveling comfort. However, the communities located along the project corridor will also get economic benefit indirectly mainly because of two main reasons;

a) During the construction period a large number of skilled and unskilled workers will be employed by private contractors, resulting in important income generation. Unskilled workers will be recruited from the area for physical works, resulting in direct income generation for this group in the area of the project road.

b) Private contractors and consultants will get benefit from the contracts that will arise from project execution and from the subsequent operation and maintenance of these roads. Both women and men are expected to benefit from the improved mobility, safety and access to markets and services along the project corridor. However, in terms of safety benefits women and children will be benefitted from the increased pedestrian safety generated by the project, since they tend to constitute the majority of pedestrians in settlements along the project road, in order to access social services, markets and shopping stores. On the other hand, men will mostly benefit from those road safety improvements that address safety risks for drivers and vehicle occupants, which in their majority are men.

Finally, specific beneficiaries will include the rural and urban poor, unemployed, small and petty traders, shop owners, chemists, medical practitioners, fertilizer agents, fruit and vegetable sellers, tea stalls, hotels, restaurants, Dhabas, tyre repairing and mechanics shops, garages, godowns, vendors, hawkers, kiosks, rural artisans, farmers, cultivators, industrial workers and women etc.
