The Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) is in any case complete and might be devoted to the nation on Sunday, which is predicted to carry a lot needed reduction to the nationwide capital Delhi. It is certainly a sense of feat and fulfillment for the government and the entire five building companies engaged for crowning glory of this the most important venture in 500 operating days.
The venture crowning glory period was once saved at two-and-a half years or 910 days. The Hon'ble Prime Minister laid the basis stone on November five, 2015. During building, the work remained suspended for about 450 days because of issues linked to land acquisition.
Background of EPE and the Alignment
The nationwide capital is attached with the remainder of the country thru nine main highway networks together with nationwide and state highways. In the absence of any peripheral highway or an alternate direction, all traffic coming from those roads traverse thru Delhi, be it destined for Delhi or out of the capital city. The result's large traffic congestion and the consequential contribution to air air pollution because of vehicular emissions. Peripheral Expressways around Delhi, comprising the Western Peripheral Expressway (WPE), often referred to as KMP, and the EPE connecting NH-1 and NH-2 from western and jap aspects of Delhi, was once conceived with the twin goals of decongesting and de-polluting the nationwide capital via diverting traffic not destined for Delhi. The EPE and WPE in a way represent one blended venture forming an outer- outer Ring Road around Delhi with a total duration of 270 km, of which about 183 km passes thru Haryana, and the remaining about 87 km thru Uttar Pradesh.
Rigorous Monitoring
About two weeks an affect was once sought to be created that regardless that the venture was once complete in April, its opening was once postponed as a result of delay in its inauguration. The reality is that the Hon'ble Prime Minister, who has been protecting abreast of the venture status, had indicated his availability to begin with for eighth Apriland then for 29th April for inaugurating the limited-access highway. However, it had to be postponed twice at the ministry's request because the interchange loops on NH-1 and a major rail over bridge (ROB) .The slab at the ROB was once solid on 16th of May, and time had to be allowed for its curing and talent to take traffic.
Jobs
The venture has generated employment opportunities of about 50 lakh man days. The contractors deployed 2094 employees and any other 7281 professional and unskilled labourers.
New Features
Close Tolling System: Toll might be gathered only for the distance travelled and not for all the duration. Thus, this becomes the primary venture where the principle of “pay as you use” is envisaged to be carried out in its true form. Toll plazas are equipped with digital toll collection device for sooner processing and uninterrupted travel experience. Iconic Toll Plaza: An iconic toll plaza has been built on the entry level on Kundli side and its top is 170 feet with 154 feet wing on each and every side Digital Art Gallery: A firstof- its-kind digital gallery has been arrange underneath the toll plaza. The first such art gallery on a highway venture on the earth is predicted to emerge as an attraction for highway users.
Restrictions on Overloaded Vehicles
Weigh-in-Motion (WIMs) equipment were put in at 30 every entry issues of the limited-access highway. Provision has been made for two gates after passing throughout the WIM - first entry gate will open if the load is throughout the permissible limits, and the second one go out gate will open if the car is overloaded. For overloaded automobiles, a provision for parking and unloading of overloaded subject matter has also been made after the go out gate.
Automatic Traffic Management System (ATMS)
The limited-access highway is deliberate to be equipped with variable message signs, CCTV, video incident detection device, warning devices, Over Speed Checking System, Weigh-in-Motion methods, Pavement Management Systems and a Fiber Optic network.
