NEW DELHI: Twenty eight ring roads around big towns, 45 bypasses, 34 initiatives of expanding lanes and flyovers might be taken up within the subsequent one-and-half years to finish traffic choke issues in city spaces. The towns that will benefit from these initiatives include Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Varanasi, Lucknow, Amritsar, Jalandhar, Pune, Nagpur and Amaravati.
The executive on Wednesday announced starting of work on growing some other 24 logistics parks, which will help reduce the congestion and pollution on town roads as heavy automobiles would possibly not wish to enter towns.
Announcing these main points of the Bharatmala programme, highways minister Nitin Gadkari said works on lots of the initiatives will start through 2018-end. "The focus is to provide better connectivity to all regions and improve mobility. We will provide four-lane highway connectivity to 250 more districts. At present, 300 districts have such high speed connectivity," Gadkari said.
He said a total of 50,000 km of highways might be developed and widened below Bharatmala programme. In phase-I, 34,800 km might be covered. Highways secretary Y S Malik said completion of the freeway building programme is geared toward reducing shuttle time through 25% and reducing the logistics value through about four%. "Increasing the number of key uniform corridors from only six to 50 in the next five years will result in increasing the share of freight transport through highways from the present 40% to about 70-80%," he added.
Gadkari said logistics parks will exchange the entire mobility plan as big lorries of about 30 tonnes capability would ply between production and intake centres against the existing follow of vans having10 tonnes capability plying on these stretches. Smaller vans or items automobiles will paintings as feeders to carry items from logistic parks to the towns.
"All the routes and networks have been identified based on scientific and using space technology to ensure all areas are covered to push economic activities, promote tourism or connecting untouched areas," the minister said.
