NHAI to construct transport corridor for northern Ring Road

NHAI will construct a transport corridor for the northern Ring Road project. It will be jointly constructed with the state government. As per the deliberations, out of the 360-metre-wide Ring Road, NHAI will construct a 70-metre corridor, while the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) will construct a 135-metre development corridor on either side of the Ring Road. A senior JDA official said, “The NHAI will bear the acquisition and construction cost of the land for building transport corridor. The chief secretary has also mentioned the same in a recent letter.” The cost of the 45-km (Bagrana to Achrol) project is pegged at 2,887 crore. The Ring Road project comprises a six-lane access-controlled expressway and a three-lane service road on both sides. The northern corridor will be developed on the lines of the 47km southern corridor (Agra Road to Ajmer Road) and the agencies will acquire the 360-metre wide strip of land.
