Executive Summary
The Central Cabinet in November 2018 has approved the plan to develop the Kartarpur
Corridor from Dera Baba Nanak Sahib (Locaed in Punjab,India) to INDO-PAK
International Border on the Eve of 550th Birth anniversary (12th November 2019) of
Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji for visa-free entry of Indian Sikhs from India to Pakistan. On
26th November 2018, Indian Vice President, Venkaiah Naidu, laid the foundation stone
of the project at Mann, a village in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India. On 28th
November 2018, the prime minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, laid the foundation stone
for the Kartarpur corridor near the Narowal district of Punjab, Pakistan.
The Kartarpur corridor is located between village Dera Baba Nanak in district
Gurdaspur in the state of Punjab(India) & Shri Kartarpur Sahib in district Narowal
(Punjab,Pakistan). Dera Baba Nanak (India) is located on NH-354 at a distance of about
477Kms from New Delhi (Capital of India), 36.0Kms from Gurdaspur, about 63.0Kms
from Amritsar (through NH-354), 48.50Kms via Fateh Garh Churian & 1.50Kms from
Indo-Pak International Border, while Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara (Pakistan) is
304Kms from Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan), 120Kms away from Lahore & 4.6 Kms
from Indo- Pak International Border (Figure 1, Figure 2 & Figure 3).
This Project Highway takes off from existing SH-25 (NEW NH-354) highway near
Chandu Nangal village (32° 1'17.88"N, 75° 2'43.35"E) i.e (Amritsar-Ajnala-Ramdas-
Gurdaspur highway which is being upgraded to two lane with paved shoulder under
Bharat Mala Project of MORT&H through National Highways Authority of India) and
terminates at INDO-PAK International border (32° 2'55.15"N, 75° 1'35.05"E). The total
length of the proposed highway is 4.3 kms out of which the first 2.5 kms is the green
field alignment, 1.2 kms follows the existing one lane road (5.50 meter carrigeway
width) Kartarpur-Darshan Sathal Road up to INDO-PAK international border and 0.6
Kms connecting the Dera Baba Nank periphery road with the proposed highway
(Figure 3). At the Junction of Green field alignment and existing road leading to Indo-
Pak international border , BSF checkpost is present there (Figure 6).

CHAPTER 1
PROJECT APPRECIATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The Central Cabinet in November 2018 has approved the plan to develop the Kartarpur
Corridor from Dera Baba Nanak Sahib (Locaed in Punjab,India) to INDO-PAK
International Border on the Eve of 550th Birth anniversary (12th November 2019) of
Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji for visa-free entry of Indian Sikhs from India to Pakistan. On
26th November 2018, Indian Vice President, Venkaiah Naidu, laid the foundation stone
of the project at Mann, a village in the Gurdaspur district of Punjab, India. On 28th
November 2018, the prime minister of Pakistan Imran Khan, laid the foundation stone
for the Kartarpur corridor near the Narowal district of Punjab, Pakistan.
The first guru of Sikhis, Guru Nanak, founded Kartarpur in 1504 CE (about 514 years
ago) on the bank of the Ravi River and established the first Sikh commune there. Shri
Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Founder of Sikh Religion) spent his life’s last17 years, 5months & 9
days in Kartarpur Sahib & breathe his last on 22nd September 1539. Following his
death Hindus and Muslims both claimed him as their own and raised mausoleums in
his memory with a common wall between them. The changing course of the Ravi River
eventually washed away the mausoleums. A new habitation was formed, representing
the present day Dera Baba Nanak (India) on the left bank of the Ravi river. During the
1947 partition of India, the region was divided between India and Pakistan.
The Radcliffe Line awarded the Shakargarh tehsil on the right bank of the Ravi River,
including Kartarpur, to Pakistan, and the Gurdaspur tehsil on the left bank of Ravi to
India. After partition, it is believed that Indian Sikhs would go over to Kartarpur
informally, crossing a bridge on the Ravi river which joined Dera Baba Nanak (India)
with Kartarpur Sahib (Pakistan). This bridge was eventually destroyed in the Indo-
Pakistan war of 1965. The Kartarpur Corridor was first proposed in early 1999 by the
prime ministers of Pakistan and India, Nawaz Sharif and Atal Bihari Vajpayee,

11
respectively, during the Delhi–Lahore Bus (Sada-e-Sarhad) initiative between India

and Pakistan.
The Kartarpur corridor is located between village Dera Baba Nanak in district
Gurdaspur in the state of Punjab(India) & Shri Kartarpur Sahib in district Narowal
(Punjab,Pakistan). Dera Baba Nanak (India) is located on NH-354 at a distance of about
477Kms from New Delhi (Capital of India), 36.0Kms from Gurdaspur, about 63.0Kms
from Amritsar (through NH-354), 48.50Kms via Fateh Garh Churian & 1.50Kms from
Indo-Pak International Border, while Kartarpur Sahib Gurudwara (Pakistan) is
304Kms from Islamabad (Capital of Pakistan), 120Kms away from Lahore & 4.6 Kms
from Indo- Pak International Border (Figure 1, Figure 2, Figure 3 & Figure 4).
field alignment, 1.15 kms follows the existing one lane road Kartarpur-Darshan Sathal
Road up to INDO-PAK international border and 0.440Kms connecting the Dera Baba
Nank periphery road with the proposed highway (Figure 3 & Figure 4). At the Junction
of Green field alignment and existing road leading to Indo-Pak international border ,
BSF checkpost is present there (Figure 6).
Ministry of Road Transport and Highway, Govt. of India (MoRT&H) had entrusted this
work of DPR through National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to M/s Consulting
Engineers Associates, Panchkula (the Consultant) having their registered office at SCO
51 (IInd Floor), Sector 5, Swastik Vihar, Mansa Devi Complex , Panchkula ,for

1.2 Punjab at a Glance
The State of Punjab is situated in the North Western part of India and is
surrounded by the states of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Chandigarh,
Haryana and it also borders the Pakistan province to the west. Punjab's capital
is Chandigarh, which is administered separately as a Union Territory since it is
also the capital of neighboring Haryana also. Punjab state is located between 29° 30'
N to 32° 32' N latitude and between 73° 55' E to 76°50' E longitude. Its average
elevation is 300 m from the sea level.
The total area of the state is 50,362 square kilometers (19,445 square miles). The
population is 2.77 crores (2011). The population density per sq. km is 550. Punjab has

18
a literacy rate of 76.70%, The total number of districts in Punjab is 22. Following are
some facts and figures about the state:
A large portion of the land of the state is under cultivation because the Punjab is
having good cultivated land. The deficiency of rainfall has been made up by irrigation
facilities. It is only the districts of Ropar and Hoshiarpur that the cultivated area is less
than 60 per cent of the total. It is in these districts that considerable land is covered by
Shivalik Hills and the beds of seasonal streams that cannot be brought under
cultivation.
The major crops grown in this state include wheat, rice, sugarcane, cotton, maize,
bajra etc. Minor crops like millet, barley and fruit and vegetables are also produced in
some area.
The soil of the state is very fertile and it is formed by the deposition of
alluvium. From geographical point of view the state is divided into two parts i.e.
Plain region and hilly region. Irrigation in the state is mainly dependent on
canals/Deep tubewells.
The agricultural industries in the state include mainly cotton textile, sugar
and dairy industry. The state is the major producer of milk in the country. It has got
highest per capita availability of milk. A special Operation was launched in the year
1969 – 70 to increase the production of milk in the country.
The three major seasons in Punjab are: summer, rainy and winter. The climate of the
plains is excessively hot and dry between April and August, with temperatures as high
as 49° C. The rains of the monsoon season begin at the end of June and continue
till August. Annual rainfall ranges from about 915 mm (about 36 in) in the north to
102 mm (4 inch) in the south. Winters are cool with some frosts. The average
temperature in January is 13° C, although at night the temperature sometimes
lowers to freezing. In June the average temperature is 34° C occasionally climbing as
high as 45° C. Annual average rainfall ranges from 1250 mm in the north to 350 mm in

19
the southwest. More than 70 percent of the annual rainfall occurs during the monsoon
season from July to September. Excluding agriculture, other major industries include
the manufacture of scientific instruments, electrical goods, machine tools, textiles,
tourism, sewing machines, sports goods, starch, fertilizers, bicycles, and the
processing of pine oil and sugar. The state is the home of Various Sikh Gurus.
Punjab has a vast paved road network of more than 66000 km, of which 1739 km Is
National Highways, 7373 km is plan Roads (1462 km State Highways, 1797 Major
Districts roads and 4114 km other District roads), and more than 55000 km of Village
link roads.

32
2.2 Reconnaissance
The Project Road is lined with km stone except few missing km stones. It shall be
marked at every 50 m with reflecting paint on one of the outside edges of the
pavement. These will serve as reference points for all field surveys and inspections
later on. The available topographic maps, GT sheets and photographs are being
studied. Reconnaissance surveys that have been done to outline the procedure for the
detailed investigations have identified the following:
o Topographic and physical features of the project and surrounding region,

including environmental features.
o Alignment alternatives, realignment requirements and need for bypasses
and grade separators.
o Traffic pattern and homogenous links.
o Locations for conducting diverse traffic surveys.
o Preliminary inventory of pavement, carriageway type, bridges and
structures, intersections, urban/congested areas.
o Requirements for conducting supplementary investigations.
o Extent of land available and additional requirements for widening.
2.3 Review of Current Data
Some data on the pavement and traffic conditions has been collected from PWD. The
support staff under the guidance of key personnel shall collect more data available on
the project road and socio-economic conditions of the Project region from different
organizations/departments. These shall be reviewed and the need to collect new and
complementary data shall be defined. This data include:
o Climate
o Inventory and condition reports of road, bridges and structures
o Geo-technical and hydraulic data of bridges including drawings.

33
o Traffic data - classified volume count, origin-destination and commodity

movement characteristics, speed delay characteristics, accident statistics,
and vehicle loading patterns.
o Location of utility services
o Availability of construction-materials
o Details of sanctioned/ongoing works.
o Survey and evaluation of locally available construction materials.
o Type of Project clearances involved for implementation of project.
2.4 Topographic Surveys
The topographical survey shall be carried out using Total Stations. The following five
categories of surveys shall be conducted at site:
o Traverse along the existing road and establishment of bench marks (BMS)
o Cross-sections at 50 m intervals and at critical locations.
o Longitudinal section levels along final centre line at 25 m intervals including
fixation of cardinal points with a pair of reference pillars.
o Collection of details of all features such as structures (Bridges), utilities
road, etc.
For topographic surveys a corridor width of 30m beyond either side of the center line
of the proposed divided carriageway or 40 m from the center line of the existing
carriageway or the land boundary whichever is more shall be surveyed. Longitudinal
and cross-sections for major and minor streams over 150 meters on both sides of ROW
and 100 meters beyond the abutments shall also to be surveyed. Location and type of
services and utilities data shall be collected.
An open traverse could lead to cumulated errors of angles. Hence, at every 2.5 km the
traverse shall be closed to limit cumulative errors. The benchmarks shall be referenced
to GTS BMs of the Survey of India. A separate team under the Supervision of Sr. Survey

34
Engineer shall carry out this task. The ground cross-sections and details of features
shall be referenced to the BMs. Separate teams concurrently with the traverse team
shall carry out these tasks. The leveling of the longitudinal section along the final
centre line (FCL) and fixation of cardinal points shall be carried out only after the
approval of the FCL by the Authority.
The readings from the Total Stations shall be registered using data base software and
then transferred to the survey model of the MX Road or any other suitable software to
prepare the DTM of the area surveyed. The DTM and the longitudinal profile of the FCL
shall be computed by the software and drawn using CAD on A2 size sheets showing
1km sections in 1:2500 Scales.
For Junctions/Intersections/Interchanges, additional areas (ground sections,

topographical features and utilities) shall be surveyed as required. During this Survey,
all utilities within the surveyed areas shall be identified; complementary data shall be
collected and noted to complete the planning.
The final location survey shall transfer the selected alignment to the ground by fixing
concrete pillars at suitable intervals on either side of the alignment. Benchmarks shall
be established at intervals of 250 m.
Details of ownership of adjoining land shall be obtained from the state PWD/Revenue
Authorities. Close liaison shall also be maintained with the revenue officials of the state
government to identify the extent and ownership of land and also the formats for the
land plans and schedules. Similar action with the forest and environment officials shall
be taken for de-notification of forest land.
2.5 Traffic Surveys:
The number and locations of traffic survey stations have been identified after
reconnaissance. The Traffic Engineer shall train the station-in-charges and monitor the

35
training of surveyors by them. Survey and count sheets shall be spot checked on a
regular basis and data registered in the field office. Data to be collected shall include:
2.5.1 Classified Volume Count:
The classified traffic volume count surveys shall be carried out for 7 days (continuous,
direction-wise) at the selected survey stations indicated below. Keeping in view the
vehicle classification system given in IRC codes (IRC 9 – 1972, IRC SP: 19 – 2001), the
following generalized classification system will be used recording the classified volume
count.

As per TOR, the minimum number of stations for classified volume Count has been
specified as 5 for complete 135 km length. However, considering the diversion the
existing road network and flow of traffic it is proposed to conduct classified traffic
volume count at five locations as below:

36
o At Mehta town.
o At Village Ghoman.
o At intersection of Village Rara.
o At section Tanda-Hoshiarpur near toll plaza.
o At Hoshiarpur - Una near Chak Sadhu.
All results will be presented in tabular and graphical form. The survey data shall be
analyzed to bring out the hourly and daily variations. The traffic volume count per day
shall be averaged to show a weekly Average Daily Traffic (ADT) by vehicle type. The
Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) will be worked out by applying seasonal factors.
The relevant traffic volume data from secondary sources shall also be compiled. The
salient features of traffic volume characteristics shall be brought out and variations if
any, from the traffic census carried out by the State PWD / MoRT&H shall be suitably
explained.
2.5.2 Origin-Destination Surveys:
1-day (24 hour, both directions) O-D and commodity movement surveys shall be
carried out. The road side interviews will be on random sample basis and cover all
four-wheeled vehicles, 10% of vehicles, will be considered as sample size.
The trip matrices will be worked out for each vehicle type. Information on weight of
trucks will be summed up by commodity type and the results tabulated, giving total
weight and average weight per truck for the various commodity types.
The data derived from surveys shall also be analyzed to bring out the load and load
characteristics and desire line diagrams. The data analysis shall also bring out the
requirement for the construction of bypasses.
The commodity movement data shall be taken into consideration while making the
traffic demand estimates (As per IRC 102 – 1988).

37
2.6 Axle Load Surveys:
The axle load surveys will be done using load Pad equipment.
The axle load data shall be collected according to the axle configuration. The number
of equivalent standard axles per vehicle will be calculated on the basis of results
obtained. The results of the survey will be used for calculation of VDF If the calculated
VDF is found to be below the tentative value recommended by IRC, and then the IRC
values will be used. Furthermore, the data from axle load surveys will be analyzed to
bring out the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) and Single Axle Load (SAL) distributions by
truck type (axle configuration). The axle measurements will be done on sample (about
10%) basis for commercial vehicles for 1 normal working days, covering both the
loaded and unloaded vehicles. We shall ascertain from local inquires about the
exceptional live loads that have used the highway in the past in order to assess the
suitability of existing bridges to carry such loads.
The Axle load survey shall be carried out at between required locations at Traffic count
point.
2.7 Road and Pavement Investigations:

2.7.3 Road and Pavement Condition Surveys:
The objective of the road and pavement condition surveys is to identify defects and
sections with similar characteristics. All defects shall be systematically referenced,
recorded and quantified for the purpose of determining the mode of rehabilitation. The
pavement condition surveys shall be carried out using visual means, supplemented by
actual measurements and in accordance with the accepted methodology. The
measurement of rut depth would be made using standard straight edges. The shoulder

39
and embankment conditions shall be evaluated by visual means and the existence of
distress modes (cuts, erosion marks, failure, drops) and extent (none, moderate,
frequent and very frequent) of such distress manifestations would be recorded. The
data obtained from the condition surveys shall be analyzed and the road segments of
more or less equal performance will be identified using the criteria given in IRC: 81-
1997. Detailed field studies will be carried out to collect road and pavement surface
conditions. The data would generally cover:

using Benkelman Beam Deflection technique in accordance with the CGRA procedure
given in IRC: 81-1997 (“Guidelines for Strengthening of Flexible Road Pavements Using
Benkelman Beam Deflection Technique”).
Benkelman Beam deflection surveys would not be carried out for severely distressed
sections of the road warranting reconstruction.
2.7.6 Sub-grade Characteristics and Strength
Based on the data derived from condition (surface condition, roughness) and crust
thickness surveys, the project road section shall be divided into homogenous segments
with respect to pavement condition and crust composition. The homogenous segments
with respect to roughness and crust composition would be done as per IRC or any
other equivalent guidelines
The data on soil classification and mechanical characteristics for soils along the
existing alignments shall be collected as given under:
(a) For the widening (4 or 6 Laning) of existing road within the ROW, three sub-
grade soil samples for each homogenous road segment or three samples for each soil
type encountered, whichever is more, will be tested.

41
(b) For the road along new alignment, the test pits for sub-grade soil will be @ 5 km
or for each soil type, whichever is more. A minimum of three samples will be tested
corresponding to each homogenous segment.
The testing for sub-grade soil will include:
o In-situ density and moisture content at each test pit

o Field CBR using DCP at each test pit. The following equation developed by
Klegn and Van Hardeen (TRR ROW Note No 31, 1993) will be used for the
purpose.
o Log10 CBR = 2.632 – 1.25 Log10 (rate of penetration in term of mm /blow)
o Characterization (grain size and Atterberg limits) at each test pit
o Laboratory moisture-density characteristics (modified AASHTO
compaction);
o Laboratory CBR (un-soaked and 4-days soaked compacted at three energy
levels) and swell.
For problematic soils, the testing shall be more rigorous. The characteristics with
regard to permeability and consolidation shall also be determined for these soils. The
frequency of sampling and testing of these soils shall be finalized in consultation with
the Authority after the problematic soil types are identified along the road sections.
2.8 Inventory for Bridges and Structures
An inventory of all the structures (bridges, viaducts, ROBs, culverts, etc.) along the road
under the project shall be prepared. The inventory for the bridges, viaducts and ROBs
shall include the parameters required as per the guidelines of IRC-SP: 35-1990. The
inventory of culverts shall be presented in a tabular form covering relevant physical
and hydraulic parameters.

2.9 Hydraulic and Hydrological Investigations
The hydrological and hydraulic studies shall be carried out in accordance with IRC
Special Publication No. 13 (“Guidelines for the Design of Small Bridges and Culverts”)
and IRC: 5-2015 (“Standard Specifications & Code of Practice for Road Bridges, Section
I General Feature of Design”). These investigations will be carried out for all existing
drainage structures along the road sections under the study.
A desk study of available data on topography (topographic maps), storm duration,

rainfall statistics, top soil characteristics, vegetation cover etc will be made so as to
assess the catchments areas and hydraulic parameters for all existing and proposed
drainage provisions. The findings of the desk study would be further supplemented
and augmented by a reconnaissance along the area. All-important hydrological features
will be noted during this field reconnaissance.
The information on high flood level (HFL), low water levels (LWL), discharge velocity
etc will be collected from available past records, local inquiries and visible signs, if any,
on the structural components and embankments. Local inquiries will also be made
with regard to the road sections getting overtopped during heavy rains.
2.10 Condition Surveys for Bridges, Culverts and Structures
The existing structures will be thoroughly investigated and a report about their
condition including all the parameters given in the Inspection pro-forma of IRC-SP: 35-
1990 will be prepared. The condition and structural assessment survey of the bridges
/culverts /structures will be carried out by Senior Bridge Engineer.
For the bridges identified to be in a distressed condition based upon the visual
condition survey, supplementary testing will be carried out as per IRC-SP: 35 and IRC-
SP: 40. Selection of tests will be made based on the specific requirement of the
structure.

43
The necessary surveys and investigations to establish the remaining service life of
each retainable bridge or structure, with and without the proposed strengthening and
rehabilitation, will be carried out according to acceptable international practice in this
regard.
2.11 Geo-technical Investigations and Sub-Soil Exploration
Geo-technical investigations and sub-surface explorations for the proposed Bridges /

Road over bridges/ tunnels/viaducts/interchanges etc., along high embankments and
any other location as necessary for proper design of the works and conduct all relevant
laboratory and field tests on soil and rock samples. The minimum scope of geo-
technical investigations for bridge and structures will be as under:
Table 15 Scope of Geo-tech Investigations
S.No. Description Location of Boring

1. Over all length = 6 – 30 m One abutment location
2. Over all length = 30 – 60 m One abutment location and at least
one intermediate location between
abutments for structures having more
than one span.
3. Over all length >60 m Each abutment and each pier
locations.
The deviation(s), if any, by the Consultants from the scheme presented above and shall
be submitted for Authority’s approval.
Where a study of geo-technical reports and information available from adjacent

crossings over the same waterway (existing highway and railway bridges) indicates
that subsurface variability is such that boring at the suggested spacing shall be
insufficient to adequately define the conditions for design purposes, we will review and
finalize the borehole locations in consultation with the Authority’s officers. Sub-soil

44
investigations will be done as per IRC: 78-2014. The scheme for the borehole locations
and the depth of boring will be prepared and finalized in consultation with Authority.
The sub-soil exploration and testing will be carried out by the consultant in house
laboratory. The soil testing records shall be in the format prescribed in relevant IRC
codes.
For the road pavement, bore holes at each major change in pavement condition or in
deflection readings or at 2 km intervals whichever is less will be carried out to a depth
of at least 2 m below embankment base or to rock level and are to be fully logged.
Appropriate tests will be carried out on samples collected from these bore holes to
determine the suitability of various materials for use in widening of embankments or
in parts of new pavement structure.
2.12 Material Investigations:
It is to be ensured that no material shall be used from the right-of-way except by way
of leveling the ground as required from the construction point of view or for
landscaping and planting of trees etc. or from the cutting of existing ground for
obtaining the required formation levels.
Environmental restrictions, if any, and feasibility of availability of these sites to

prospective civil works contractors, should be duly taken into account while selecting
new quarry locations.
We will make suitable recommendations regarding making good borrow and quarry
areas after the exploitation of materials for construction of works.
2.13 Preliminary Design of Road and Pavements, Bridges and

Structures
Preliminary designs will be carried out and Drawings will be prepared for the
following:

45
o High speed highway with divided carriageway configuration, complete in all

respects, with service roads at appropriate locations;
o Design of pavement for the additional lanes and overlay for the existing
road, paved shoulders, medians, verges;
o Bridges, subways and structures (GAD);
o At-grade and grade-separated intersections, interchanges as required at
major junctions (GAD);
o ROB for railway crossing as per the requirement and the standards of the
Indian Railways (GAD);
o Alignment plans, longitudinal sections and cross-sections @ 50m interval;
o Designs for road furniture and road safety/ traffic control features;
o Drainage design showing location of turnouts, out falling structures,
separate drawing sheet for each 5 km stretch.
o Bridges and structures rehabilitation plan with preliminary design and
drawings.
o Road amenities (weighing stations, parking areas and rest areas, telephone
system).
o Service roads and underpasses near urban location for the animal/slow
moving local traffic;
o Design for relocation of existing utility services;
o Horizontal and vertical alignment of existing carriageway for any envisaged
improvement etc.
o Toll Plazas
o Short bypasses at congested locations
o Sections of the new improved highway along the existing alignment will be a
partial access controlled and new bypass alignment will be fully access
controlled and the design will be prepared accordingly.
Wherever feasible within the constraints of the available land, symmetrical widening of
the existing carriageway will be avoided and the required widening will be achieved by

46
adding an independent additional two lane formation and carriageway alongside of the
existing one. Further, wherever feasible the new carriageway will be oriented on the
upstream side of the existing carriageway to act as bund against any future calamity.
2.14 Environment and Social Impact Assessment
We will undertake the detailed environmental and social impact assessment in

accordance with the standard set by the Government of India for projects proposed to
be funded by Ministry. If, the expansion of project required environmental studies, EIA
and EMP reports, which are must, then we will assist the client in obtaining
Environmental Clearance. The Consultant will prepare proposal and estimates
towards Compensatory A forestation and proposal towards Environmental
Clearance, if required, particularly for construction of Toll Plazas and other Project
Facilities.
2.14.1 Environmental Impact Assessment
The environmental assessment study would be started with a detailed reconnaissance

survey for the purpose of recording the environmental features along the roadside and
in the adjoining area. Areas impacted due to anthropogenic activities and natural
processes will also be recorded. Areas of tourist and archaeological importance will be
identified and recorded. Sensitive areas like schools, hospitals, and religious structures
like Temples, mosques by the roadside and encroaching upon the ROW will be noted.
Detailed information on the following features will be recorded and analyzed.
o Physical Resources: Topography, Tectonics, Geology, Quarries Soil, Climate

and Drainage system,
o Biological Resources: Ecology, Vegetation, Flora, Fauna and Biodiversity,
o Human Resources: Demography, Land Use and Occupation pattern,
o Quality of life values: Educational institutions, Medical facilities, basic
amenities like Water supply, Electricity, Communication and transport,

47
o Aesthetics,
o Cultural heritage and Tourism.
The reconnaissance survey would enable the consultants to identify the various critical
locations, where primary data on Air, Noise, Water and Soil quality will be generated
for impact assessment and prediction.
In addition to the above surveys, informal and formal discussions and consultation will
be held with the local populace with reference to the pertinent projects and their views
and suggestions would be sought on issues of road widening, land acquisition,
environmental pollution and degradation, sanitary facilities and safety.
Along with the above, laws related to environmental management and pollution
control in India would be reviewed and their bearing upon the project has been
elucidated. The legal promulgation for carrying out this study is the January 27, 1994
notification and subsequent amendments dated 4th May 1994, 10th April 1997 and 14
September 2006 under the Environmental Protection Act, 1986. Of particular
importance in this regard are the legal procedures on land acquisition, tree felling and
compensatory a forestation.
i) Ambient Air Quality
In order to take care of prevailing wind direction, two monitoring stations will be
established judiciously, one upwind and another downwind. As the project is for only
widening and improvement of the existing national highway and the overall ambient
air quality of the region is considered satisfactory, spot checks of background
concentrations of selected air quality parameters twice a week would be adequate and
representative.
The ambient air quality monitoring will be carried out in Urban, Rural and Eco-
sensitive receptors along the project route. The parameters to be monitored are SO2,
NOx, TSPM, RPM, CO and Hydrocarbon (HC). All parameters except CO and HC will be

48
monitored for 24-hour sampling period. CO and HC would be monitored for 4-hourly
sampling period basis.
Water quality monitoring will be done for surface and ground water sources. The
analysis of water samples will be done as per PAHA specified procedure for each
parameter. The parameter taken for analysis will be pH, TDS, BOD, COD, chlorides,
SO4-2, salinity, DO, Iron, Fe, Zinc, Lead, Chromium, Total Suspended Solids, Odor,
Turbidity.
ii) Noise Levels
Twenty-four hourly noise levels will be measured at all locations of ambient air quality.
In addition to these locations minimum two noise sensitive receptors (school/college/
hospitals) will also be selected. A minimum of one location will be selected for noise
monitoring.
iii) Soil Quality Monitoring
Soil quality monitoring has been done at three to four locations along each project
route. The parameters selected for soil monitoring are Pb, N, P, K, porosity, water
holding capacity, etc.
iv) Girth & Species wise Trees in row
Tree counting has been carried out to identify girth and species wise number of trees.
The tree data is tabulated in following format. The road wise summary is and annexed
with EA Report
2.14.2 Social Impact Assessment
The purpose of Social Impact Assessment is to assess the possible impact of the project
on the people within the area, as a result of the widening & strengthening of the road
in terms of loss of shelter, livelihood and economic base. The study also aims at finding

49
the people’s perception of the project and initial reaction to the relocation and
resettlement issues. The basic objective of SIA is to assess the changes in the structure
and functioning of social ordering that may occur in the project area as a result of
commissioning the project. It aims to predict and evaluate the social effects of a project
while still in planning stage.
Social assessment is done to understand and assess the scale and components of
negative impact because of improvement of the National Highway No. 503 A from
Amritsar- Sh. Hargovindpur-Tanda- Una Border to propose mitigation measures, so
that the displacement of people is minimized and their rehabilitation is done in a way
that improves their living standard. Thus a resettlement action plan would be prepared
to mitigate above-mentioned negative impact. The plan would be prepared based on
census survey data, structure survey data and public consultation. Input from revenue
department would also be incorporated in social design of the project. Following sub -
sections discuss methodology for various stages of project preparation.
2.14.3 Reporting Requirements of EIA:
Stand-alone reports as per the requirement of the Authority with contents as per the
following:
o Executive Summary
o Description of the Project
o Environmental setting of the project.
o Identification and categorization of the potential impacts (during pre-
construction, construction and operation periods).
o Analysis of alternatives (this would include correlation amongst the finally
selected alternative alignment/routing and designs with the avoidance and
environmental management solutions).

2.15 Reconnaissance survey:
Reconnaissance survey will be done to identify the broad issues of alignment, property
losses, vulnerable groups (including indigenous people and other marginal groups),
junctions, land uses, congested stretches, possible by passes, and public perception of
the project and likely conflicts arising of dislocation and rehabilitation. Specific tasks
include:
o Preliminary evaluation.
o Identification of zone of impact.
o Design and alignment and exploration for alternatives.
o Identification of public requirements such as underpasses, bus and truck
stations, service roads, utilities location.
o Public consultation where new alignments /bypasses are to be proposed.
o Focus group discussions on issues of relocation and rehabilitation
o Land acquisition requirements and procedures to acquire land and
identification of agencies to monitor land acquisition and compensation
process.

and other social-cultural property rehabilitation.
2.16 Estimation of Quantities and Project Costs:
We will prepare detailed estimates for quantities (considering designs) and project
cost for the entire project (civil packages wise), including the cost of environmental
and social safeguards proposed based on MoRT&H Standard Data Book and market
rate for the inputs. The estimation of quantities will be based on detailed design of
various components of the projects. The estimation of quantities and costs would have
to be worked out separately for each civil work Package.

52
We will make detailed analysis for computing the unit rates for the different items of
works. The unit rate analysis will duly take into account the various inputs and their
basic rates, suggested location of plants and respective lead distances for mechanized
construction. The unit rate for each item of works will be worked out in terms of
manpower, machinery and materials.
The project cost estimates so prepared for the projects are to be compared against
rates for similar on-going works in the area or NHAI financed road sector projects.

DESIGN STANDARDS , PROPOSALS & TYPICAL CROSS-SECTIONS
The design standards and material specifications for the road will be primarily based
on IRC publications, MoRT&H specifications and circulars, and relevant
recommendations of the international standards.The design standards developed for
the project shall cover all aspects of detailed design including the design of geometric
elements, pavement design, bridges and structures, traffic safety and materials.
3.1 Guiding Standards:
The IRC: SP 84-2014, Manual of specifications and Standards for 4 laning of Highways
nd IRC: SP: 73-2015 for 2 laning of Highways( up dated and mmended ) shall be taken
as the base document for design standards for the Project Highway.
3.2 Design Service Volume:
Ministry vide circular No. NH-15017/21/2018-P&M dated 10th May 2018, Ministry has
revised the traffic volume for expansion of an existing two-lane or two lane with paved
shoulder road to 4 lane with paved shoulder Highways, the following guidelines shall
be followed for end-lane status and the stage development based on the present
traffic(including the induced traffic):-

55
3.3 Widening Policy
The highway shall be widened in such a manner that it does not have adverse impact
on the environment and does not distrupt the lifes and buissness activities of the
people living close to the project highway.
3.4 Principles for widening
The highway shall be widened in such a manner that it causes least

disturbance/relocation to the service roads, drains etc. Since the 2-lane highway would
eventually be widened to 4-lane without disturbing the service roads, drainage, trees,
etc. As far as possible eccentric widening(new carriageway) shall be proposed to have
minimum effect on environment
The Manual for highway also requires provision of grade separated structures as
below:
In case such structures are provided while designing/constructing 4-lane, the vertical
profile shall go complete change in case the structures are introduced later on and
large waste of expenditure on construction of pavement, its maintenance/ up
gradation will be required as also expenses on construction of diversion roads. To
avoid this it is proposed to provide grade separated structures in the 4-lane Project as
well. This would also help in enhancing safety as local public and farm vehicles and
cattle would be able to cross through these structures.
3.5 Geometric Design
Geometric design shall conform to IRC:73.The design for geometric elements shall
cover: Horizontal alignment, Longitudinal profile, Cross-sectional elements, Junctions,
intersections, interchanges, Bypasses and Service roads.

56
Based on the data collected from reconnaissance and topographic surveys, the sections
with geometric deficiencies, if any, shall be identified and suitable measures for
improvement should be suggested for implementation.
The alignment design shall be verified for available sight distances as per the standard
norms. The provision of appropriate markings and signs shall be made wherever the
existing site conditions do not permit the adherence to the sight distance requirements
as per the standard norms.
Detailed analysis of traffic flow, level of service for the existing road and the current
traffic flow capacity shall be computed. The analysis shall clearly establish the
widening (2-laning with paved shoulder or 4-laning etc.) requirements with respect to
the different horizon periods.
In the case of closely spaced cross roads, different options shall be examined such as,
providing grade separated structure for some of them with a view to reduce number of
at-grade crossings, services roads connecting the cross-roads and closing access from
some of the intersections and prepare and furnish appropriate proposals for this
purpose keeping in view the cost of improvement, impact on traffic movement and
accessibility to cross roads. The detailed drawings and cost estimate shall include the
provisions for realignments of the existing cross roads to allow such arrangements.
Following parameters of design shall be considered:
a) Design of grade-separated pedestrian crossings (viaducts) for large cross traffic of

pedestrians and / or animals
b) Details for at-grade junctions, which may be adopted as alternative to the grade
separated structures.

57
c) The geometric design of interchanges shall take into account the site conditions,
turning movement characteristics, level of service, overall economy and operational
safety.
d) Design and other details in respect of the parallel service roads in urbanized
locations and other locations to cater to the local traffic, their effect of the viability of
the project on commercial basis if service roads are constructed as part of the project
and the implications of not providing the service roads.
3.6 Pavement Design
The design of pavement will involve:
o Strengthening of existing 2-lane road pavement and design of the new

pavement for the additional lane(s), if the findings of the traffic studies and
life-cycle costing analysis confirm the requirement for widening of the road
beyond 4-lane divided carriageway standard.
o Design of new pavement for the additional carriageway.
o Pavement design for bypasses and
o Design of shoulder.
The design of pavement shall primarily be based on IRC: 37-the design of rigid
pavement shall be based on IRC: 58- The design alternatives shall include both rigid
and flexible design options. The most appropriate design, option shall be established
on life-cycle costing and techno-economic consideration. The design methodology shall
accompany the design proposals and shall clearly bring out the basic assumptions,
values of the various design inputs, rationale behind the selection of the design inputs
and the criteria for checking and control during the implementation of works. In other
words, the design of pavement structure should take due account of the type,
characteristics of materials used in the respective courses. Variability of their
properties and also the reliability of traffic predictions.

58
For the design of overlays for the existing pavement, the strengthening requirement
will duly take into account the strength of the existing pavement vis-à-vis the
remaining life. The overlay thickness requirements shall be worked out for each road
segment homogenous with respect to condition, strength and sub-grade characteristics
based on IRC: 81 .
Latest techniques of pavement strengthening, including cold/hot pavement recycling

will be considered for achieving economy.
The paved shoulders shall be designed as integral part of the pavement for the main
carriageway. The design requirements for the carriageway pavement shall, therefore,
be applicable for the design of shoulder pavements. The design of granular shoulder
should take into account the drainage considerations besides the structural
requirements. The pavement design task shall also cover working out the maintenance
and strengthening requirements and periodicity and timing of such treatments.
3.7 Design of Embankments
The embankments design shall provide for maximum utilization of locally available
materials consistent with economy. Use of fly ash shall also be considered, in
accordance with government instructions. The design of embankments would include
the requirements for protection works and traffic safety features. Analysis and design
for all embankments of height greater that 6 m based on relevant IRC publications
shall be carried out.
3.8 Design of Bridges and Structures
General Arrangement Drawing (GAD) showing the salient features of the bridges and
structures proposed to be constructed / reconstructed along the road sections covered
under the study. These salient features such as alignment, overall length, span
arrangement, cross section, deck level, founding level, type of bridge components
(superstructure, substructure, foundations, bearings, expansion joint, return walls etc.)

59
shall be finalized based upon hydraulic and geo-technical studies, cost effectiveness
and ease of construction. The GAD shall be supplemented by Preliminary designs.
The locations of all at-grade level crossings shall be identified falling across the existing
level crossings for providing ROB at these locations. All existing ROBs required to be
widened shall also be identified. The consultants shall prepare preliminary GAD for
necessary construction, reconstruction or widening separately as desired by the client.
Dismantling/ reconstruction of existing structures shall be avoided as far as possible
except where considered essential in view of their poor structural conditions/
inadequacy of the provisions etc. The existing structures having inadequate
carriageway width shall be widened / reconstructed in part or fully as per the latest
MoRT&H guidelines. Preliminary details for carrying out the above improvements
shall be furnished by the consultant. Suitable repair / rehabilitation measures shall be
suggested in respect of the existing structures as per IRC-SP: 40 along with their
specifications, drawings and cost estimate in the form of a report. The rehabilitation or
reconstruction of the structures will be suggested based on broad guidelines for
rehabilitation and strengthening of existing bridges contained in IRC-SP:35 and IRC-
SP:40. Preliminary design and make suitable recommendations for protection works
for bridges and drainage structures shall be worked ut by the consultant.In case land
available is not adequate for embankment slope, suitable design for RCC retaining wall
shall be furnished. However, retaining wall may also be considered depending upon
techno-economic suitability to be approved by the Authority.
3.9 Drainage System
The requirement of roadside drainage system and the integration of the same with
proposed cross-drainage system shall be worked out for the entire length of the project
road section.In addition to the roadside drainage system, the Consultants shall suggest
the special drainage provisions for sections with super-elevated carriageways, high
embankments and for road segments passing through cuts. The drainage provisions
shall also be worked out for road segments passing through urban areas.The designed

60
drainage system shall show locations of turnouts/outfall points with details of outfall
structures fitting into natural contours. A separate drawing sheet covering every 5 km
stretch of road shall be prepared.
3.10 Arboriculture and Landscaping
Appropriate plan shall be worked out for planting of trees (specifying type of
plantation), horticulture, floriculture on the surplus land of the right-of-way with a
view to beautify the highway and making the environment along the highway pleasing.

vehicle during the analysis period. The variations of traffic shall be considered in the
estimation of the inflow rate. Clear comparison of the available toll collection systems
and describe the operational characteristics including the advantages of the
recommended toll collection system for Authority’s acceptance. The design of
pavement for the toll plaza shall take into account the lay out features and the various
stresses induced by the acceleration, deceleration, braking of vehicles and the effect of
possible oil spillage from stationary vehicles. The setting up, operation and
administration costs for the proposed toll collection system shall be worked out by the
Consultants.
