JDA announces ₹3,000-cr ring road project in Jaipur

Jaipur
To ensure smooth flow of vehicular traffic in and around Jaipur, the Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) has decided to construct a 45-km long ring road (North) corridor directly connecting Agra and Delhi highways. Earlier, the task was given to NHAI but now the urban development and housing (UDH) minister announced that JDA will construct the project. Development Commissioner (JDC), Gaurav Goyal informed that the estimated cost of the project will be ₹3,000 crore. The state government has already cleared the project and JDA is all set to start the land acquisition process between Bagrana (Agra road) to Achrol (Delhi road). Negotiations with NHAI are currently on to construct the project on a joint revenue-sharing basis. As per the proposal, the civic body would require approximately ₹1,808 crore for acquiring land for the transport corridor. The agencies have identified land in 26 villages of three tehsils — Amber, Jaipur and Jamwa-Ramgarh — to acquire it for the ring road. It will consist of a six-lane access-controlled expressway and a three-lane service road on both sides. The northern corridor will also be developed on the lines of the 47-km southern corridor (Agra Road to Ajmer Road) and JDA will acquire a 360-metre-wide stretch of land. While the transport corridor will be constructed on a 90-metre-wide land, the civic body proposes 135-135 metres wide development corridor along the transport corridor for commercial purpose.
