But, 6 lane expressways and 4 lane highways are more common though.

I would call it an intercity expressway or ring expressway since it is access controlled. It is expressway.
oh and highways don't have to be access controlled.

ORR phase II to begin on Oct 2
[ Thursday, June 08, 2006 01:59:05 amTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

HYDERABAD: Works for phase -- II of Outer Ring Road (ORR) will start on October 2, the birth anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi. The first stretch will cover 37 km.

The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) on Wednesday decided not to constitute any fund for the 37--km work work. The urban body instead decided to go for the annuity model for building the 37 km road
13 km stretch from Shamshabad to Tukkuguda and
24 km from Narsingi to Patancheru.

The Huda borrowed money for phase -- I works at an interest rate of 9.5 per annum and handed over the works to two foreign companies. But under the annuity model for phase --II, the companies themselves will have to invest the money and take up the works by their own.

The Huda will pay the companies in the form of regular annual instalments, Huda vice chairman Jayesh Ranjan said at a press conference after a board meeting. The Huda has also decided to change its policy on acquisition of land. Instead of paying compensation to the landowner, the Huda will make sure that the landowner also gets benefits under the project.

The mode of benefits will be decided soon with the help of Satish Magar, an expert on land settlements, whose formula was successfully implemented by the Pune administration.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
this will make things easier for HUDA to aquire land complete the project in time.

I'm glad ORR work has officially started with deadline of 30 months. Hyderabad may be the only city after Delhi to start major mega projects on time without years of delays.

Other cities should sit up and take notice if they want to compete.

ORR gates may take their toll on people
[ Friday, June 09, 2006 02:20:38 amTIMES NEWS NETWORK ]

HYDERABAD: Every time you travel on the proposed Outer Ring Road (ORR), you may have to shell out a fee for using the roadway. Toll gates will be in place on nearly 45 per cent of the 162 km ORR stretch.

The works relating to the latest proposal of ORR phase-III would be handed over to successful bidders, who will have to set up toll gates on a stretch of ORR whose length would be decided...
...the authorities are proposing that the toll gates be set up on at least 70-km stretch.

... there would be no toll gates on the ORR stretch to be completed in phase-I, connecting Gachibowli and Shamshabad. Huda will be constructing the phase-I with its own money.

Of the 162-km ORR, 24 km will be covered during phase-I. Consultants have reportedly suggested to Huda to divide the 132-km length of phase-II into two portions, splitting the ORR works into three phases...

Further, the officials suggested that the works of at least half portion of 132 km be handed over to private companies on the BoT model. The private agencies will take up the works, collect toll and later transfer the road to Huda after the completion of the BoT period.

"It depends on the private agencies keen on BoT model. As of now, we are proposing that a stretch of about 70 km should be given on BoT model so that the private agencies will bear all the expanses and then collect toll from road users," sources said.

i hope there is no hue and cry about this. if we want better infrastructure then the money has to come from somewhere. gov't doesn't have the money to build it. so it'll borrow loans and ppl will pay it back through taxes. so, instead of taxes, we pay it in the form of toll. nothing wrong with it. it's all economics...........

Thanks for the image man. Road width of 125m(400 feet) will surely be a sight
to see in reality.

But one thing tht i'm not so sure abt is the ORR passing thru. teh Chilkur Forest Resv.!

How mch distance is tht exactly? It wld be really gud if they explore other options over there....we need to leave aside forest resv........passing a highway through it...isn't tht gud way to go abt....

looks like almost about 0.8 to 1.0 km length of ORR is cutting across the resv. forest.
perhaps they could n't avoid this due to the fact that there are two huge lakes Himayatsagar and Osman sagar on either side of the resv. forest, falling on the outer side of ORR.
so, they wanted to push the ORR as colse as possible to the lake areas.
so, they are building noise barriers, working in coordination with the animals rights groups.

On a sidenote, I hate when Indian media tries to act smarter than it actually is. I am trying to figure out why does the Tabloid have to put such a negetive tone on this headline. Oh wait, its negetive sensationalism, something ToI thrives on.

Why can't they just stick to a professional newspaper headline, like "45 percent of ORR to be tolled" or something.

The people are getting a world class service, and I suppose it would break their backs to pay for it.

And an excellent rendering of the ORR. can't wait to see actual pictures of it soon.

pding · June 13th, 2006, 01:43 AM

the Patancheru interchange is awesome. in fact, i posted some pics in the Best roads thread in Chaibar. it seems like one of those, though those are way more extensive. will be the first of it's kind in india, not sure one such interchange is being built even in Delhi.

i like the cloverleaf of NH-7.

so i'm looking forward to real pics of Patancheru interchange and NH-7 CL junction.

pding · June 13th, 2006, 01:44 AM

how do you copy the a pic when the video is paused. i mean how can you copy something. b/c in flash player, when i right-click there is no copy option and i couldn't find any other way to do it.

ramkan · June 13th, 2006, 01:54 AM

I did a print screen and quick save as JPEG using mspaint :-)

MSPaint is low quality compared to Adobe Photoshop, but does the work.

typical T-junction and a Clover leaf stacked Interchange:
