1. PROJECT REPORT
1.1 PROJECT BACKGROUND
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has been constituted through an Act of
Parliament for faster, economical and quality Road Construction work throughout India. NHAI
aims at provisioning and maintaining the national highways network to meet user
expectations in the most time-bound and cost-effective manner within the strategic policy
framework. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the nodal agency of Ministry
of Road Transport and Highways (MORT&H), Government of India and has been entrusted
with the Development of Delhi - Ludhiana - Amritsar – Katra Expressway having an
approximate length of 600 Km including spurs through BOT & EPC basis.
As part of the development, MoRT&H entrusted NHAI with engagement of a Consultant to

carry out the “Consultancy services for Preparation of DPR for Development of Delhi -
Amritsar – Katra Expressway having an approximate length of 600 Km including spurs” for
project transaction preparation. NHAI through competitive bidding has appointed M/s.
Feedback Infra Private Limited for providing the required consultancy services and issued
letter of Commencement of Services vide their letter No.: NHAI/Punjab/ CC/ N-1/109706
dated 11.12.2017.
The proposed project is greenfield connectivity (Amritsar Connectivity) between Amritsar and
Delhi - Ludhiana - Amritsar – Katra expressway The Project Highway (Amritsar Connectivity)
starts from Nakodar at intersection of Expressway with NH 703 (old NH 71) (Expressway Ch.
306) and ends on Amritsar-Ajnala Road NH 354 (near Canal). The entire Greenfield Alignment
passes through Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Tarn Taran and Amritsar district of Punjab State. The
Project Highway starts at Ch. 0.000 and ends at Ch. 99.020, the total length of the Project
Highway is 99.020 Kms. The proposed connectivity has been referred to as the Project
Highway in this Report.
Presently Delhi – Ludhiana – Amritsar – Katra is connected by two different routes:
Delhi to Katra via Panipat-Jalandhar-Pathankot-Jammu (NH44)

Delhi to Katra via Jind - sangrur - Amritsar - Pathankot – Jammu (NH-352 & 52)
Most of these roads / NHs are existing 4 lane or are being widened to six lane configurations
under various schemes of Government of India. The constraint being felt in doing so is the cost
of land abutting the highway, difficulty in acquisition due to large scale ribbon development
along the corridor thereby requiring number of bypasses thereby only utilizing part of the
existing asset. There is also requirement of realignments at sections and provision of grade
separated structure to have at least partial access control along the routes so as have a safe
high-speed Corridor.
Assuming a constant growth in economic activities along these developed corridors the
existing facility would not be able to cater to the demands thus posed by the enhanced traffic
and the level of service of the NHs would deteriorate as traffic would be much higher than the
lane capacity. In order to have a long-term solution and having futuristic planning in mind the
Government of India entrusted NHAI to propose an alternative solution traversing through the
hinterland. The Detailed Project Report under the contract includes the following reports in
succession:

1.4.3 Coordination of Horizontal and Vertical alignment
The overall appearance of project road is enhanced considerably by judicious combination of
8
the horizontal and vertical alignments. Plan and profile of the road shall not be designed
independently but in unison, so as to produce an appropriate three-dimensional effect. Proper
co-ordination in this respect will ensure safety, avoid visual discontinuities and contribute to
overall aesthetics.
Vertical curvature superimposed upon horizontal curvature gives a pleasing effect. As such
the vertical and horizontal curves shall coincide as far as possible and their length shall be
somewhat longer than the vertical curve. Short vertical curve superimposed on long
horizontal curves have been avoided at or near the apex.

1.4.5 Interchange Design
Being fully access controlled, there will be no at grade junctions with Expressway. Entry/Exit
will be only from interchanges. At grade intersections adversely influence the quality of
highways in terms of speed, capacity and safety because of interruptions to the flow of traffic.
Thus the basic requirement for the design of intersections is not only to cater for safe
movements for the drivers, but also to provide them full traffic information by way of signs,
pavement markings and traffic signals. Further, simplicity and uniformity should be the
guiding principles for interchange design to ensure the safe passage of maneuvers and
reduce conflict points, either by elimination of certain maneuvers or separated in space,
horizontally or vertically. The interchanges are proposed on National highway/ State
Highways.
The interchanges are designed with proper ramps and loops as per IRC: 92 latest versions.
Interchanges are designed considering following components;
• Acceleration lane
• Deceleration lane
• Loops
• Ramps
Acceleration/Deceleration Lane
Acceleration/Deceleration lane shall be provided as per IRC 92. Each entry and exit ramp
10
shall have acceleration/deceleration lane for the Project Highway. The length of the
acceleration/deceleration lanes shall be decided on the basis of speed differentials of the
Project road traffic and the speed permitted on the ramps.

1.4.8 Typical Cross Sections
The proposed TCS developed for the project corridor are for 2 x 2 lane divided carriageway.
The details are provided in following section of this report.
1.4.9 Drainage
The IRC: SP 42 will generally be followed for design of highway drainage. The planning of
highway and drainage is intricately linked with the terrain, alignment of the highway and the
proposed cross drainage works. The planning and designing of adequate drainage system is
a primary requirement for maintaining a structural soundness and functional efficiency of a
road. Pavement structure including sub-grade must be protected from any ingress of water;
otherwise over a period of time it may weaken the sub-grade by saturating it and cause
distress in the pavement structure. Hence disposal of water from the pavement and
sub-grade is a basic consideration in road design. Over and above quick drainage takes
away the water from pavement surface and reduces chances of skidding of vehicles. In order
to guard the pavement from the poorly drained conditions, planning, designing, construction
and maintenance of longitudinal drains on either side of the roads is very much essential. The
surface water from the pavement and shoulders will be made to flow in to the drains by
providing suitable cross Slopes / Camber.
Earthen drains are provided through-out the project corridor to ensure the efficient drainage
from carriageway to drain. All drains are connected to cross drainage structure. Median
drains are provided with rain water harvesting structure. Proper drainage arrangements are
provided for grade separated structures. If requires, CD work is also provided for loops and
ramps.
1.4.10 Capacity of Project Highway
For the purpose of design and future augmentation of the Project Expressway, the design
service volume for level of service- B for plain/rolling terrain shall be 1300 PCU/hr/lane. The
design service volume can be determined as per MORTH Guidelines for Expressways. The
design service volume per day will depend on the peak hour flow and will be as specified in
the below given table.

nearest bridge or the basis of dam outflow data with reference to the catchment area at
proposed bridge location.
Highest of above shall be considered at design discharge. With the design discharge,
calculations for the 100-year flood level shall be obtained using manning’s equation based on
the 100-year flood discharge. Afflux calculation, span arrangement and scour levels for piers
and abutment shall be estimated.
Embankment crossing the submergence of dam shall be encroaching the minimum area.
Height of structure shall be based on the dam top level & its maximum water level.
1.6.2 Road drainage
Road drainage shall be designed to cater the rainwater into the side drain quickly in order to
avoid stagnation of rainwater over road surface. The section of the drain shall be designed on
the basis of IRC 42 and IRC 50.

1.7 TRAFFIC SURVEYS

In order to capture traffic and travel characteristics, speed characteristics, users’ preference
regarding toll imposition of traffic passing through the existing routes from Jalandhar to
Amritsar, following primary traffic surveys were conducted.
▪ Classified traffic volume count (CTVC) using ATCC method

▪ Origin – destination survey (OD)
▪ Speed and Delay studies
The classified volume count surveys were carried out at four locations and data collected
from IHMCL for other location to understand traffic intensity in each homogeneous section.
These locations are characterized by centres of heavy economic activities, population and
are away from the influence of city areas in order to avoid the influence of local traffic. The
surveys were conducted continuously for seven consecutive days for 24 hours through
Automatic Traffic Counter and Classifier (ATCC) method.

CVC surveys was not carried out as IHMCL data was available. For the purpose of OD
analysis, the CVC data from the surveys carried out earlier has been used to determine
the volume count according to the vehicular classification used for the present study..
The AADT value of base year (FY-2019) is used for the traffic volume projection up to horizon
year and projected traffic volume is used in design of pavement and for projecting the tollable
traffic.

1.11 TOLL BOOTHS
Toll booths has been provided as per IRC: SP-99. Toll booth are designed for peak hour
traffic projected for minimum 25 years. The total number of toll booths and lanes are
designed to ensure the service time of not more than 10 seconds per vehicle at peak
flow. The width of each toll lane will be 3.5m for ETC/Manual/Smart card lanes proposed as
per NHAI guidelines and one lane at the extreme outer side for over dimensional vehicles of
4.50m. Between each toll lane, traffic islands will be provided so as to accommodate toll
booth. These islands will be of minimum 25 m length and 1.8m width. Protective barriers of
reinforced concrete will be placed at the front of each island to prevent out of control
approaching vehicles crashing into the toll booth. They would be painted with reflective
chevron markings.
The area of toll booth covering the flared portion will be same as that of main carriageway.
The fee collection system will be electronic toll collection (ETC) system. The Toll Booth(s) are
aesthetically pleasing as per the design. The fee collection staff would be efficient, courteous
and adequately trained before deployment.
1.12 INTERSECTION PROPOSALS
Being fully access controlled, there will be no at grade junctions with the project Highway.
Entry/Exit will be only from interchanges. At grade intersections adversely influence the
quality of highways in terms of speed, capacity and safety because of interruptions to the flow
of traffic. Thus the basic requirement for the design of intersections is not only to cater for
safe movements for the drivers, but also to provide them full traffic information by way of
signs, pavement markings and traffic signals. Further, simplicity and uniformity should be the
guiding principles for interchange design to ensure the safe passage of manoeuvres and
reduce conflict points, either by elimination of certain manoeuvres or separated in space,
horizontally or vertically.
Moreover, for a project highway carrying a high volume of traffic on the proposed four lane
carriageway and where the design speed is 120 Kmph proposing an at grade intersection
would be fatal and would also not pass the safety audit requirements. Keeping in view the
safety hazard at high speed & volume of traffic on the project highway no at-grade
intersection has been provided.
Grade separation shall be provided at all intersection with National Highway and State
Highway. In addition to this Grade Separators will be provided across other categories of
roads. It has been decided to give safe crossing to all roads. In case two crossings are at
close interval then access will be given to one and other will be joined by service road. Grade
separated interchange is proposed at the following location:
