Project: Feasibility cum PDR for 4/6-laning of Ambala to Kaithal section of NH-65
10.1
Background
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Government of India has decided to take up the development of various
NH Corridors where the intensity of traffic has increased significantly and there is requirement of augmentation of
capacity. NHAI has decided to implement some of the development project for these corridors through Public Private
Partnership (PPP) venture in a Design-Build-Finance-Operate format. For the purpose of project preparation the length
of various corridors has been divided into convenient sections, selected on the basis of traffic generation and attraction
potential, geographic location and other considerations. The above section is to be developed as a partially access
controlled toll highway. Bypasses wherever provided shall be fully access controlled. NHAI has assigned the
consultancy services for carrying out Feasibility cum Preliminary Design Report to M/s MEINHARDT SINGAPORE
PTE LIMITED, NOIDA.
The main objective of the Consultancy services is to establish the technical, economical and financial viability of the
project and prepare feasibility cum preliminary design reports for developing the existing 2-lane NH section to 4/6-lane
divided carriageway configuration. The highway section is to be developed as partially access controlled facility with
provision of service roads, bypasses, intersections, underpasses/flyovers/ROBs etc. as appropriate. The report will
include preliminary highway design, design of pavement and overlay, preliminary design of bridges and CD structures
and grade separated structures, design of service road, preliminary cost estimate etc.
The feasibility cum preliminary design report will also take into account economic and financial viability analyses,
environmental and social feasibility and action plan as appropriate. The consultant will also ensure enhanced safety of
traffic, road users and enhanced operational efficiency of the highway.
10.2
Project Development
The existing project road has capacity limitation and the traffic warrants improvements. These include the widening of
roads and structures, provision of bypass in congested locations, construction of new major bridge, minor bridges,
Flyover and underpasses.
10.2.1
Road Work
Widening of the project road to 4/6 lanes with the provision of median and shoulders, both as concentric and eccentric
widening, provision of service road in selected congested stretches as under:
For application to different situations, 8nos. of typical cross-sections have been designed for adoption in various
stretches and are listed in the following Table. It also indicates the situations for which these cross-sections are
applicable.
Type I
4-lane divided carriageway without service road (eccentric widening on left) [Fig 6.1]
Type II
4-lane divided carriageway without service road (eccentric widening on right) [Fig 6.2]
Type III
4-lane divided carriageway with service road (eccentric widening on left) [Fig 6.3]
Type IV

Design of new flexible pavement applies to the new carriageway and widening of existing carriageway including paved
shoulders. The methodologies recommended in IRC: 37-2001 and AASHTO Design Guide (1993) have been adopted
and the final designs recommended are based on best engineering judgment.

Material
The material report has been prepared based on the field investigation carried out for:
Sources of borrow area soil and the laboratory tests on quality of the material and suitability as
embankment and sub-grade material
Sources of quarries and laboratory test results, quantity and suitability as pavement materials
Suitable borrow areas for construction of embankment and subgrade material have been identified. PWD approved
quarries at Kala Amba near Himachal Border are suitable both for pavement and concrete works. The yield of these
quarries is sufficient for the project works.

Miscellaneous Facilities
Toll Plazas
The project road is proposed to be developed as Tolled Road. The project road being only 95.383km long, only two toll
plaza will be feasible to be provided. During site reconnaissance it was observed that free space is available near km
24+000 & km 64+000 suitable for development of Toll Plaza System. Same is already discussed with NHAI officials
during site visit.
Rest Area
Highway users who travel long distances upto a few hundred kilometers a day during a single journey need amenities
along the highway. This section of project road has several eating places at the built-up areas. Moreover, this section
connects directly Kaithal headquarters of Kaithal District with Ambala. Thus amenities are available at these two
locations separated by only 72.74 km. Further provision of a Rest Area will require additional acquisition of land along
with provision of infrastructures in it. Keeping this in view no additional Rest Area is contemplated and thus not
provided in this section. However, this requires concurrence of NHAI
Bus-bays
21 nos. Bus Bays with Passenger Shelters on each side of the road along the project highway have been proposed.

Truck Lay-byes
During site reconnaissance it was observed that there are several roadside dhabas, where trucks park their vehicle for
eating, resting or even minor maintenance of vehicles. Depending upon the site conditions the locations of truck lay
byes proposed on each side of the roads are as follows:

Service Road
The concept of service road is being conceived at built-up area and grade separated intersections (Flyover &
Underpass locations) which will come along the proposed alignment. The typical cross-section under this scenario is
also indicated in Fig. 6.3, Fig 6.6 & Fig 6.7. The list of proposed service road stretches are as follows
0+300 to 1+550
3+600 to 6+050
22+580 to 23+320
28+160 to 28+560
