I did Delhi-Jaipur a couple of times in June 2011 and was highly impressed by the speed of 6 laning work. In a period of about one and half years ( when I had last used this road), it was heartening to see the progress made on 6 laning and building a fairly large number of flyovers. Besides, the diversion work had also been carried out very sytematically, otherwise Delhi-Jaipur travel could be utterly nighmarish. The work contrast sharply to that being done by idiots doing KMP. Hats off to this company.

BTW, why call it an expressway when it isn't.

Looks like work on the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) expressway is gathering steam:

Flyover on e-way to ease traffic flow

NOIDA: Efforts are on by Noida Authority to ease traffic congestion on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway with the construction of a new flyover. Recently, the Authority invited consultants to finalize the design and construction details of the flyover that will be constructed at a cost of Rs 80 crore. The six-lane road, complete with cloverleaf loops, will provide easy access to commuters along both sides of the Expressway.

The flyover is located where the Faridabad-Noida-Ghaziabad (FNG) Expressway touches the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway near sectors 142, 143B and 167,168. Once ready, traffic along sectors 168A, 167A, 141, 143, 140, 139A, 139B and 88, falling on either side of the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, will run smoothly. It would also provide speedy access to Greater Noida and along the FNG Expressway towards Faridabad and Ghaziabad.

"A tender inviting consultants to design and detail the project has been floated and will soon be finalized," said Sant Ram, chief project engineer. "This will be the sixth flyover to help connectivity and decongest the fast growing populated areas," he added. The flyover will be constructed on a single pier system with the help of girder technology with pre-fabricated segments. Each carriageway of the flyover will be of three 3.5m wide lanes.

Vehicular movement along this route is expected to increase several-fold since not only residential projects but also institutional and commercial projects are being developed along the Expressway. Traffic from Noida Extension area is also expected to hit this stretch once the housing projects get underway. Authority officials say preliminary preparations and details of the project are being worked out and once the design and detailed project report are in place the construction work will start. "The groundwork will take about six months to be completed. After finalization, construction will start and the project will be completed in one year," said Sant Ram.

Meanwhile, the Authority has also given the nod to begin construction of underpasses at sector 71 and near the City Centre Metro Station near sector 25A. "A route diversion plan has been prepared and construction will begin by the month end," said an Authority official. The cost of the sector 71 underpass is pegged at Rs 42 crore, whereas the one near City Centre Metro station is projected to cost Rs 34 crore. Moreover, the construction of the traffic junction at sector 37 is almost completed. As per officials, by January 2012 the flyover will be ready and by March 2012 the underpass will be thrown open to public to ease the flow of traffic.
google maps shows that site prep has already been conducted for the approach (view on google maps):

This article says it'll meet NH2 near Palwal but that's obviously not true.

Same article has a couple of villages mentioned, so this seems to be the route:




It could also go south of Kheri village, then south of sectors 81,82, 83 and join the BPTP bridge (north of Indian Oil Corp) which seems to be a better option.

NHAI, transport officials to discuss SPR expressway

The secretary-level talks between Haryana government and officials of the Union ministry of road transport and highways and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) will soon take place in Delhi.

The meeting will centre around the issue of changing the alignment of the Southern Peripheral Roads (SPR) Expressway connecting NH-8 before Kherki Daula toll plaza. The proposed alignment of SPR (starting from MG Road) connects NH-8 about 1 km before the Kherki Daula toll plaza. SPR has acquired the status of national highway and has been allotted number 236.
Though the Northern Peripheral Road (NPR) (Dwarka-NH-8) also connects NH-8 a little before Kherki Daula, it is yet to attain the status of a national highway. However, in future, it is likely to get the same.
NHAI officials feel that if residents wish to move in localities along the SPR, they need to pay toll for the 1 km distance that they travel. Similarly, residents of Ambience Island, near Delhi border toll plaza, pay toll at a distance of 500 metre while crossing the plaza on way to Delhi.
The ministry of road transport and highways wants both the roads — NPR and SPR — to converge at NH-8 (towards Manesar), 1 km after the toll plaza, citing better management of traffic.
However, the government wants to go ahead with the original plan of connecting the highway with the two roads before the toll plaza.
Ministry officials have accused the Haryana government of favouring the Gurgaon Expressway developer, whose revenue will increase manifold as the entire Jaipur-bound traffic using SPR and NPR will converge at the toll plaza.
SPR connects MG Road to Gurgaon Expressway (NH-8), while NPR connects Dwarka in Delhi with the Expressway through New Palam Vihar and newly marked sectors in Gurgaon master plan 2021.
During a meeting between ministry officials and the state government in March, both sides had heated arguments on the issue, a source said.
If wish they'd just move the Toll Plaza back to Bilaspur where it was originally, would save everyone loads of trouble.

IU , i guess this under pass plan was rejected by HUDA as they said they wont be able to acquire land for cloverleaves. they want a flyover

Also there is this triangle kind of situation where NHAi , haryana govt and HUDA have not been able to decide who's gonna pay how much for 7 fricking years

Locals up in arms over new NPR link

anyone hear anything about the NPR litigation, I heard the dispute has been resolved and that the plot owners have received equal sized alternate plots.

this is another article from today, though not on the litigation...

http://www.hindustantimes.com/India...n-arms-over-new-NPR-link/Article1-785079.aspx

Residents of Sector 110-A in the city are on the edge these days with the recent announcement of a change in alignment of a link road connecting the Old Delhi Road in Palam Vihar and the proposed Northern Peripheral Road (NPR).

The new alignment of the link road cuts across a densely populated residential part of the sector and is bound to displace several families if executed by the Haryana Urban Development Authority (HUDA). The new route, approximately one-kilometre long, will divide Sector 110-A and 111 and begin from the railway crossing near Palam Vihar to the T-point at NPR. The changed alignment, as per Master Plan 2025, has become a major cause of worry for residents as the link road has been shifted nearly 50 metres ahead of its original position as given in the 2021 Master Plan.
“The sudden shifting will affect several families and has been done under the influence of big builders of the area,” said a resident.
Local resident welfare associations have sought the intervention of Huda administrator Praveen Kumar in the matter and have asked him to visit the area and check the feasibility of the new plan.
In the last three months, residents have submitted two memorandums to Huda but to no avail. “I have been wrongly advised by my subordinates and I am going to take strong action against those responsible for this wrong planning,” said Kumar, adding that he has issued instructions to the town planner to look into the matter and report to him.

NPR Expressway around sectors 106/8
December 20 - Copyright Rudder












and some news..

Four flyovers to come up on Dwarka E-way

<snip>
Earlier, there was no plan for constructing flyovers on the stretch. The project report had provisioned for just one railway over bridge (ROB) on the 18-km-long and 150-metre-wide e-way, also called the future lifeline of Gurgaon.

Construction on the 14-km stretch of this project is already underway as Huda had awarded a tender for R43 crore to India Bulls in March this year. The remaining 4 km stretch is under litigation. Haryana finance commissioner and principal secretary (town and planning department) SS Dhillon has directed Huda administrator Parveen Kumar to issue tenders for the flyovers on NPR.

HUDA was asked to get flyovers constructed on the intersections of the Pataudi Road near Sector 88, Farrukhnanagr Road near sectors 100 and 101, Daultabad road near sectors 104 and 105 and another road crossing NPR near sectors 110A and 111. Work on the stretch is likely to be completed in 18 months of its commissioning — July 2012. However, construction of four new flyovers on the stretch will extend the deadline.

HUDA officials said the sites of all four proposed flyovers were not under litigation and therefore, would not be affected or delayed. Dhillon also asked Huda authorities to move the Punjab and Haryana High Court and file a special petition to get early hearing on cases related to the pending 4-km stretch, so that work could be initiated.

Skyway isn't a new name. There are a bunch of highways in the US with the skyway suffix. Popular ones are the Chicago skyway and Pulaski skyway.

NPR will have 6 lanes. The breakdown is:

10 meter wide central median
2 x 12.5 meter wide road
2 x 3.5 meter wide shoulder
= 42 meters for the current scope of work

IU i guess this is the current plan , the original plan had 16 lanes rite?? (150m wide road)

so after constructing this 6 lane road , they will again open tenders for converting it to 4+4 main carriageway and 4+4 service lanes?
 
#227 ·
The main carriageway will remain 3+3. See the second image above. That's the cross section of the entire 150 m wide corridor.

The service lanes will be 2+2. Since they are 10 meters wide, they might just convert this to 3+3 or put in a shoulder/emergency stop lane.
 
#230 ·
The Airport Express line will run parallel just south of the NPR corridor.

One of the articles from last month had mentioned that it'll be underground for another 1.5 kms after Dwarka-sec21 and then elevated, with a provision for another station that can be built in the future.

Based on that and other masterplan maps, this is how that region will shape up in 2016:


-It'll be underground from Dwarka Sector 21 till south of Bharthal village (approx 1.5kms)

The exact location of the stations hasn't been released yet so I've marked what I feel will be the general areas where the stations will be located.

In all likelihood, the blue line will be extended to run down the NPR.

CM to meet highways minister to discuss underpasses on NH-8

GURGAON: To expedite construction of flyovers and underpasses in NH-8 bottlenecks including Hero Honda Chowk, chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda is likely to meet C P Joshi, Union minister for road transport and highways, next week. In a recent meeting held in Chandigarh, Hooda discussed the reasons behind repeated delays in the crucial infrastructure project. Despite daily traffic jams on Hero Honda Chowk, the underpass project hasn't seen the light of day as the state government and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) have failed to work out a cost-sharing mechanism.

There are four such flyovers or underpasses proposed on NH-8 between Rajiv Chowk and Manesar: Hero Honda Chowk, Narsingpur, Anaz Mandi and Kherki Dhaula. While the state government claims that it is keen to build flyovers and underpasses on equal contribution basis with the NHAI and the central government, the project cost is likely to escalate to more than Rs 305 crore as estimated in 2009. "This project is crucial for the state because the poor connectivity is leading to lack of investors' interest in the Gurgaon-Manesar region.

We are hoping that some formula on cost sharing will be worked out in the meeting between the CM and the union minister," said a state government official. According to city traffic police, Hero Honda Chowk is not only a bottleneck for smooth flow of traffic, but it also records a large number of accidents. Last year as many as 105 accidents were recorded at the crossing.

दो फ्लाईओवर और अंडरपास/ओवरपास पर सहमति

गुड़गांव। दिल्ली-गुड़गांव एक्सप्रेस-वे पर ट्रैफिक के बढ़ते बोझ और दुर्घटनाओं से निपटने के लिए मंगलवार को दिल्ली के परिवहन विभाग में मैराथन बैठक चली। इस दौरान सिरहौल से खेड़कीदौला टोल प्लाजा तक दो फ्लाईओवर और हीरो होंडा चौक पर अंडरपास या ओवरपास बनाने पर सहमति बनी। इस बाबत राष्ट्रीय राजमार्ग प्राधिकरण (एनएचएआई) के चेयरमैन व रोड ट्रांसपोर्ट हाईवे के सचिव एके उपाध्याय की अध्यक्षता में हुई बैठक में हुडा, लोक निर्माण विभाग और ट्रैफिक पुलिस के अधिकारियों ने भी शिरकत की।

बैठक के बारे में हुडा प्रशासक डॉ. प्रवीण कुमार ने बताया कि दिल्ली-गुड़गांव सिरहौल टोल प्लाजा से खेड़कीदौला टोल प्लाजा तक ट्रैफिक के बोझ को देखते हुए कई सुझाव दिए गए हैं। इनमें उद्योग विहार से दिल्ली-गुड़गांव बॉर्डर एबियंस मॉल की तरफ कोई यू-टर्न न होने के कारण फ्लाईओवर बनाने की बात कही गई। इसके अलावा शंकर चौक से इफको चौक तक कोई यू-टर्न होने के कारण यहां भी एक फ्लाईओवर बनाने पर सहमति बनी।

दूसरी ओर, हीरो होंडा चौक से नौरंगपुर तक जगह की उपलब्धता के आधार पर अंडरपास या ओवरपास बनाने पर सहमति हुई। बैठक के दौरान डिजाइन भी दिखाया गया। हुडा के एक अधिकारी ने बताया कि हाईवे के दोनों तरफ स्लिप रोड बनाने और सर्विस रोड को चौड़ा करने पर भी बात हुई।


हुडा प्रशासक और डीसीपी ट्रैफिक भारती अरोड़ा ने संयुक्त रूप से जेड शेप की तरह टोल प्लाजा बनाने की बात कही, ताकि दिल्ली-गुड़गांव टोल प्लाजा आवश्यकतानुसार 80 लेन तक तक बन सके। :nuts::nuts:

एनएचएआई के चेयरमैन ने हुडा के मुख्य प्रशासक व हुडा प्रशासक से सेक्टर रोड विकसित करने को कहा ताकि मुख्य सड़क व हाईवे का जुड़ाव आपस में ठीक से हो सके।

किन-किन सुझावों पर सहमति बनी
-उद्योग विहार से एबियंस मॉल के बीच फ्लाईओवर
-शंकर चौक से इफको चौक के बीच फ्लाईओवर
-हीरो होंडा चौक से नौरंगपुर तक अंडरपास/ओवरपास
-हाईवे के दोनों तरफ स्लिप रोड का निर्माण व हाईवे के किनारे बने भवन तक सर्विस रोड


कुछ और तथ्य
-फ्लाईओवर व अंडरपास निर्माण पर होने वाले खर्च की राशि प्रदेश सरकार व एनएचएआई संयुक्त रूप से उठाएगा। जमीन की उपलब्धता प्रदेश सरकार कराएगी।
-एनएचएआई ने हीरो होंडा चौक पर पीक आवर में सुबह और शाम में ट्रैफिक स्थिति के सर्वे की जानकारी भी प्रदेश सरकार को सौंपी है। एनएचएआई के अनुसार पीक आवर में सुबह 10 से 11 बजे के दौरान 10 हजार 146 वाहन और शाम के समय छह बजे से सात बजे के दौरान 10 हजार से अधिक वाहन गुजरते हैं।
-करीब एक दशक से हीरो होंडा चौक पर अंडरपास का निर्माण न होने से राजीव चौक से हीरो होंडा चौक तक करीब ढाई किलोमीटर तक हाईवे पर गलत दिशा में वाहन चलने से अक्सर दुर्घटना की आशंका रहती
