Km 96+208). 11. Details of proposed development . Proposed RoW is 100 / 120 m. It will be a eight lane divided carriageway with 12m wide depressed median. The carriageway width is 15 m with 3.0 m wide paved and 3.0 m wide earthen shoulders. Further it is proposed to build service roads along the expressway at some locations to facilitate movement of local traffic across expressway. Bridge: The expressway alignment is crossing major / minor rivers, drains and nala at number of locations where major / minor bridges have been proposed as per hydraulic considerations. 8 major bridges and 29 minor bridges have been proposed. P a g e | 1 Brief Project Summary . Culverts: 75 RCC box culverts and 25 Hume pipe culverts are proposed across the alignment to prevent disturbance of the natural and artificial drainage system .
