BMIC expressway short of land

DH News Service, Bangalore:

Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Limited spokesman said the work was complete "except at a few patches where land was not made available and approval for construction of bridges was required"...

Construction work on available land for Section A of the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor Project (BMIC) including link road, peripheral road and portions of the expressway, has been completed, according to promoters of the corridor, Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Limited (NICE).

A company spokesman said the work was complete “except at a few patches where land was not made available and approval for construction of bridges was required”. According to NICE, the company requires land for the link road (on three locations), peripheral road (four locations) and expressway (8 kms of road, apart from land for two interchanges). Approvals from the BBMP, BWSSB and PWD are also pending on certain locations, he said.

More than 350 acres of land is estimated as a combined requirement for the completion of the 9.1-km link road from SH-17, the 41-km peripheral road from NH-7 to NH-4 and the 13.2-km expressway, including interchanges. The link road is short on more than 22 acres, while the peripheral road on around 50 acres, the spokesman said.
The expressway in Section A takes off from Bangalore towards Mysore up to Bidadi.

While five kilometres of the expressway commencing from the Bangalore-end is completed, the additional 184 acres (for the road from km 5 to km 13.2) and 100 acres (for two interchanges) have not been transferred to the company, he said.

The company also claimed that the KIADB was yet to make land available for the commencement of construction of the road from the Mysore end.

At km 1.4 of the link road, the BBMP is yet to communicate approval for the diversion at the Ring road and for integrating the bridge and the ramps across the Outer Ring Road, the spokesman said.

BWSSB work

Further, at km 5.4 of the link road, the BWSSB has not yet commenced the work to shift the water pipeline in the alignment.

On the peripheral road (between km 23.4 and km 24.2; Mysore Road Junction), the approval/clearance for construction of the bridge across Mysore–Bangalore Road (SH-17) is pending, he said.

Ensuring connectivity is top priority

R Jayaprakash | TNN

Bangalore: Get set for a non-stop cruise between Hosur Road and Tumkur Road. The six-lane access-controlled 41-km Peripheral Ring Road being built as part of the Bangalore-Mysore Infrastructure Corridor (BMIC) will be ushered in the new year.
This and many other projects will be opened to traffic — elevated road to Electronic City, readymade underpasses, peripheral ring road, satellite town ring roads, individual town ring road and expressway to the new international airport.
Here is a sneak peek into infrastructure projects which will be a blueprint for the city’s future development:

BMICP:

The Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise (NICE), which is executing the 111-km BMIC project, has completed the road part of Phase I. The first phase consists of a 9.1-km link road between Mysore Road (BHEL) and Somapura (the interchange and the beginning of the expressway), 12-km expressway up to Bidadi, development of interchanges at Hosur Road, Tumkur Road, and Link Road, and a 41-km peripheral road linking Hosur Road to Tumkur Road and the first township. The state government allotted 3,500 acres of the required 7,000 acres for the first phase.
As of now, a 75-metre wide 41-km grade separated peripheral road connecting Hosur Road (NH7), Bannerghatta Road, Kanakapura Road, Somapura Interchange (where the peripheral road meets expressway) Mysore Road, Magadi Road, and Tumkur Road (NH4) has been completed. However, the peripheral road is incomplete at Gottigere and three other places, as land was not given to the company to complete the road. Totally, at nine places, including exit and entry ramps at various interchanges on the alignment, land has not been given to the company leaving the work incomplete.
With the governor summoning NICE for a discussion, things have started looking positive for the company, which has been caught in a legal wrangle. “The governor has asked NICE representatives to give in writing a detail version of events. He assured that things will be thrashed out soon, and decision will be taken keeping in view of public interest,’’ government sources said. Once the nine points are cleared, it will bring in connectivity to two ends of the city — Tumkur Road and Hosur Road.

PRR, STRR and ITRR, Expressway and Elevated Road to EC:

The National Highways Authority of India has its hands full after taking up many projects in the city. The central agency evinced keen interest in taking up two major projects of the city — the 116-km Peripheral Ring Road (PRR) and 21-km expressway to the new international airport. The state reacted positively to the interest by clearing the decks to hand over the two projects. The two mega projects worth over Rs 5,000 crore now stand a high chance of being a reality. But this may take two or more years.
While the Rs 1,000-crore expressway will be speeded up given the need for a dedicated road to the new airport, the Rs 3,600-crore PRR will be one of the biggest projects. It envisages a second circular ring road around the city. In the coming year, land acquisition and spadework for Phase I of the project would be some action to watch out for.
On the other hand, the elevated road to Electronic City is steadily progressing with girders and spans being put up for 500 metres of the 9 km. The Rs 750-crore project will be ready by July 2008.
With the city growing by leaps and bounds, development is taking place far from the city centre — knowledge industry, proposed IT corridors, integrated townships and a slew of SEZs. Quite understandably, one issue which has dogged development is connectivity to these places. To address this, the BMRDA has proposed satellite town ring roads and individual towns’ ring road, which would eventually connect all these development centres. Here too, the NHAI has been entrusted with the project. Preliminary notification for the project has been issued and in 2008, land acquisition will take place following final notification.

Magic boxes:

BBMP is working out ways and means to put up magic boxes — pre-cast elements to make important junctions in the city signal-free. Costing anywhere between Rs 50 lakh to Rs 2.5 crore, the authority is confident of installing the underpasses in a matter of days, minimizing public inconvenience. Initially, five underpasses will be put up between Windsor Manor and Hebbal flyover before March. In the later stages, BBMP plans to make the Outer Ring Road signal-free with the magic boxes on the entire alignment. That apart, a study has been commissioned to study severely choked points in the central business district, secondary business district and peripheral districts where the elements can be used

Rs. 3,000-crore ring road project cleared

Quote:

BANGALORE: To ensure smooth movement of traffic around Bangalore city, the Cabinet has cleared a Rs. 3,000-crore peripheral ring road project which would be developed in the next 30 months.

Addressing presspersons after a Cabinet meeting here on Wednesday, Rural Development and Panchayat Raj Minister Shoba Karandlaje and Home Minister V.S. Acharya said the Bangalore Development Authority (BDA) would take up the road project on public-private partnership.

The project envisages building 116 km length of 100-metre wide four-lane road network around the city.

The Cabinet has administrative approval for the first phase, covering 65 km linking Tumkur Road, Bellary Road, Old Madras Road and Hosur Road.

The peripheral ring road will have two lanes on the two sides and a dedicated bus track.

2Paise · June 13th, 2008, 05:39 AM

I thought it was at least a 10 lane highway...maybe even 12.

Todays TOI says that it will be the widest road in karnataka.

Its just unclear reporting...Im sure its 12 lanes in total.

Subra · June 13th, 2008, 02:57 PM

Folks

Can some one point me to a map that shows a clear alignment of the PRR along major roads it is intersecting ? Example: It looks like PRR is intersecting Hosur road after Electronics City but not sure if this after Phase-1 or Phase-2 of Electronics City.
Also is land acquisition completed for the first phase of PRR upto Hosur road ?

Thanks.
