Feasibility Study/Detailed Project Report for Ratanpur - Dhamra - Package – II: Basudevpur - Talapada - Chandipur - Chandaneshwar - Digha for Basudevpur - Chandipur upgradtion to Two/ Four Lane with Paved Shouder NH Configuration DRAFT DETAILED PROJECT REPORT under BHARATAMALA Project OVERVIEW OF NHAI E. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY E.1 INTRODUCTION Good transportation systems are lifeline to the area they serve. Roads bring about all-round development in the region. A good road network helps in the success of all development activities, be it in the sphere of movement of people and goods, agriculture, commerce, education, health, and social welfare, or even maintenance of law and order and security. The government of India has envisaged the development of coastal regions spread across the country. In view of this, a scheme named “Bharatmala” has been proposed in such a way to provide connectivity among all the towns and villages (along with ports) which are along the coastal line all along the country. National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for assigning the work of Project Management Consultancy for the selected road stretches/corridors of various roads in the states of Bihar, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu & Puducherry and Odisha to 2/4 lane with paved shoulder NH configuration. The project corridor is of 51.500 km in length. Most of the stretch passes through plain terrain and the predominant land observed is agriculture followed by barren/waste land and built-up. NHAI has appointed M/s Aarvee Associates Architects Engineers &Consultants Pvt. Ltd. to provide consultancy services for "Feasibility Study / Detailed Project Report for Ratanpur - Dhamra - Basudevpur - Talapada - Chandipur - Chandaneshwar - Digha for upgradation to Two/Four Lane with paved shoulder NH configuration under BHARATMALA Project “ E.2 SCOPE OF SERVICES As per Terms of Reference (ToR), the project study consists of preparation of the following: • Fixing of Alignment of proposed expressway • Initial traffic surveys and demand assessment • Initial social impact assessment and assessment of land to be acquired • Initial Environmental impact assessment • Preparation of general arrangement drawings for Bridges and Tunnels • Preparation of Plan & Profile of the proposed road & pavement design • Preparation of indicative BOQ and rough cost estimates • Economic and Financial analysis of the project National Highways Authority of India E - 1 Feasibility Study/Detailed Project Report for Ratanpur - Dhamra - Package – II: Basudevpur - Talapada - Chandipur - Chandaneshwar - Digha for Basudevpur - Chandipur upgradtion to Two/ Four Lane with Paved Shouder NH Configuration DRAFT DETAILED PROJECT REPORT under BHARATAMALA Project OVERVIEW OF NHAI E.3 PROJECT STRETCH The proposed stretch in the state of Odisha is from Ratanpur - Dhamra and is of 53.000 km in length.

The important villages are Basudevpur, Gopalpur, Gud, Ananthapur, Orasal, Srijang, Gudu and Srikona. ALIGNMENT PASSING IN EACH DISTRICT-WISE The alignment passes through two districts namely Bhadrak and Balasore districts. Below table shows the district wise lengths. S.No. District Length (km.) 1 Bhadrak 9.450 2 Balasore 42.050 E.5 SURVEYS AND INVESTIGATIONS The studies and investigations carried out during the study comprised mainly of the following: • Topographic Surveys along the existing alignment • Traffic surveys viz. Classified Traffic Volume Count, Axle Load, Origin Destination and Commodity Movement etc., including collection of secondary data for traffic projections • Collection and laboratory testing of soil samples from pits adjacent to the existing road • Identification of borrow areas for different types of pavement and bridge construction material, collection of samples and their analysis • Environmental baseline studies and Public Consultations E.6 TRAFFIC STUDIES Based on reconnaissance studies, the locations for conducting various traffic surveys were finalised. The traffic surveys viz., Classified Traffic Volume Count, Axle Load, Origin Destination and Commodity Movement etc. including collection of secondary data for traffic projections were carried out in the month of February-2017. Secondary data was collected for the purpose of determining the Seasonal Variation Factors and Growth Rates at various count stations for different vehicle categories. The identified locations for traffic surveys are given below: Location A1: Km. 2.400 on NH 5A near Paradip port Location A2: Km. 0.000 on SH 85 near Dhamra Location A3: Km. 49.200 on MDR near Basudevpur Location A4: Km. 145.800 on NH 16 near Bhadrak Location A5: Km. 2.000 on SH 51 near Chandaneswar Location A6: Km. 3.300 on MDR near Egra National Highways Authority of India E - 3 Feasibility Study/Detailed Project Report for Ratanpur - Dhamra - Package – II: Basudevpur - Talapada - Chandipur - Chandaneshwar - Digha for Basudevpur - Chandipur upgradtion to Two/ Four Lane with Paved Shouder NH Configuration DRAFT DETAILED PROJECT REPORT under BHARATAMALA Project OVERVIEW OF NHAI E.7 ANALYSIS OF TRAFFIC STUDIES E.7.1 ANNUAL AVERAGE DAILY TRAFFIC (AADT) The Average Daily Traffic volumes of different types of vehicles were assessed from Volume Count Survey and the AADT figures were calculated after applying seasonal correction factors for different types of vehicles (diesel / petrol) for the month of February. AADT values for different sections are given in Table - E.1. E.7.2 VEHICLE DAMAGE FACTOR The VDF values observed for different types of vehicles are given in Table - E.2. E.7.3 TRAFFIC GROWTH RATES Traffic growth rates are an important parameter for projecting the traffic for the design life of pavement. The projected traffic, in turn, will form the basis for capacity assessment, pavement design, and economic and financial viability analysis. Growth rates adopted for different types of vehicles are given in Table - E.3. Table - E.1: Average Annual Daily Traffic Survey Location Km. Km. Km.145.8 Km.

The values were found to be abruptive and are not replicating the exact VDF values which are coming on the project stretch. Hence a VDF value of 4.5 is adopted for calculation of MSA.

Such section-wise zones have been marked up and grouped together. This aids in arriving at traffic figures expected to ply on individual sections of project stretch. Step 3: Upon arriving the traffic on individual sections, total traffic on project stretch is calculated by cumulative summation of applicable section-wise traffic figures. Care has been taken to segregate sections and assign traffic depending upon their origin and destination characteristics.
