SHILLONG, March 13 – The Special Accelerated Road Devp Programme (SARDP) to improve road connectivity in the NE region is currently under implementation by the Central Government.
Completion of the Trans-Arunachal Highways is also being taken up during the 11th Plan period (2007-12), which continues to lay emphasis on the removal of existing deficiencies in the National Highways System.
The SARDP for NE covering 8,887 km comprises of two phases. Phase A covering 2,454 km has been approved for implementation and Phase B covering 6,433 km has been approved for preparation of DPRs.
The estimates for 951 km length at an amount of Rs 2,577 crore have so far been approved under SARDP-NE. During 2008-09, 52.30 km length of road has been completed and an expenditure of Rs184 crore has been incurred so far.
The expanded programme for National Highway Development (NHDP) apart from completion of North South-East West Corridors, envisages six-laning of 6,500 km, fourlaning of 12,109 kms and upgrading of 20,000 kms of national highways, besides initiating work in 1,000 kms of expressways in the country over the next five years.
The bulk of the highway programme is proposed to be undertaken through PPPs. The NHDP programme envisages an investment of about Rs 2,36,247 crores over the next six years.
These objectives are sought to be achieved through a slew of measures which includes, ensuring balanced development of the entire network of NHs, state highways, major district roads and village roads, developing NHs in inaccessible areas and areas of strategic importance and improving capacities of the implementing agencies, i.e. NHAI, BRO and State PWDs.
The measures also include the setting up of the National Road Safety and Traffic Management Board as an apex body in order to ensure safety along with free flow of traffic. – PIB
