In order to exhibit the model stretches of National Highways as per
norms, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to
develop 57 stretches of NH (1,735 km) across the country near each state
capital.
These Model Stretches will also serve as a platform to
educate the highway engineers of the country, including state PWD
engineers.
These stretches will have all the required safety and
aesthetic features like road signs, road markings, road furniture &
safety items, proper junctions and entry/exit points, functional drains,
pedestrian facilities, street lighting, plantation & landscaping,
toll plaza, user facilities & wayside amenities.
The
stretches will also be equipped with CCTV cameras at all vulnerable
locations, no black spots to avoid accidents and eco-friendly measures.
The idea is to make the highway stretch look like a perfect textbook
version of a model road.
Some of the NH sections identified for
development as Model Stretches are Dausa to Jaipur, Jalandhar to
Amritsar, Srinagar to Banihal, Varanasi Ring Road, Chennai Bypass, MP/MH
border to Nagpur including Nagpur Bypass, Brahmaputra Bridge to
Guwahati.
The NHAI has issued policy guidelines to help its
regional officers identify and plan the development of Model Stretches
and complete the work in a timely manner.
Sufficient financial powers have been delegated to take quick decisions in the matter.
The
NHAI HQ will be monitoring the progress through an online e-portal
(Data Lake), where pictures/videos of each Model Stretch would be
uploaded apart from other related information, a statement from the
authority said.
