1 Executive Summary
Overlay on the entire stretch of project length of 252 km and service roads has not
been taken up by Contractor yet since the date of completion of overlay is due in next
25 days
Over all progress is very slow regarding repair of potholes and rutting on Main
Carriageway which is causing inconvenience to highway users and is also a concern
from road safety point of view.
Street lighting in
Anantapur bypass completed on main carriageway and is energized but for
service roads street lighting is pending on both sides
Kurnool bypass erection of poles only completed in main carriageway not yet
energized till to date, but for service roads not started

Worksheets under Section 1 (‘Road inventory data’) shall be updated from surveys conducted
only once at the time of completion testing. Worksheets under Section 2 (‘Road condition data’)
shall be updated from surveys carried out annually for FWD attributes and biannually for the
remaining attributes.
The fields to be updated in each of the worksheets are described below. Each description is
followed by an example of data for a sample project.
Road inventory data consists of parameters which provide basic information about roads such
as pavement type, number of lanes, topography, etc. These parameters are largely static in
nature, and therefore a survey to update this dataset shall be conducted only once at the time
of completion testing. The road inventory data shall be used to update specific worksheets
listed below.

Road condition data consists of parameters which directly affect maintenance requirements of
the road. These parameters are dynamic in nature, and therefore a survey to update this
dataset shall be conducted annually for FWD testing and every six months as per Annexure IV
for network survey vehicle testing. The first survey shall be conducted at the time of
completion testing and the remaining surveys shall be conducted as per the defined frequency.
As an example, if majority of highway length (>50%) passes through a state, where defined
survey months are May and November, if completion testing is conducted in April, then the
first network survey shall be conducted in the month of April. This shall be considered as the
network survey to be conducted in the month of May. The 2nd survey shall be conducted in the
month of November, the 3rd survey shall be conducted in the month of May and so on. As
regards FWD, the first test/survey shall be conducted at the time of completion in April. The
2nd test/survey shall be conducted in April of next year and so on.
The road condition data shall be used to update specific worksheets, which are listed below.
