Project: Widening & Strengthening of Sector V to Bantala

from 0.00 KM to 6.600 KM in the District of South 24 Parganas

CHAPTER - 1
Introduction and Need for the Project

1.1 Introduction
New Town and Rajarhat is now fastest growing infrastructure hub in and around Kolkata. However entry
and exit route of this infrastructure hub is limited and mainly through congested like Salt Lake and V.I.P.
Road. To explore and an alternative route it is found that one existing road from Sector V to Bantala may
serve the purpose. However this road is only single lane carriageway. To make a well specified
alternative route, Strengthening and Widening of this road is being taken up.

1.2 Objectiveand Need for the Project

The primary objective of widening & strengthening of this road is shortening of travel distance between
Ghatakpukur. Malancha, Sarberia, Basantietc on Kolkata - Basanti Highway and Salt Lake City, New
Town, Rajarhat, Kolkata Airport etc. It even shortens the travel distance between Kolkata-Basanti
Highway and NH-34 / NH-35. Moreover this is would be the direct link between the IT sector zone at
Sector V in Salt Lake City and the flourishing industrial cum IT sector zone at Bantala. Presently if any
person desired to travel from Kolkata-BasantiHsighway Salt Lake City or Airport by road, he has tofollow
the route via EM Bypass & VIP Road which is too much busy and runs within congested areas. Whereas
the project road will reduce an approx. travel length of 6 - 7 Km and mostly runs through the vacant
lands. This may be visualized from the Index Map provided.

1.3 Description of the Project Corridor

The project road starts atMahishbathanwithin the Sector V of Salt Lake City and then travelling towards
south it ends at 4.6 km chainage of Kolkata-Basanti Highway.

Width of carriageway through the project corridor varies at different places. The average carriageway
width at different segments of the road is presented in the following diagram.

Fig 1 :Average Width of Carriageway

On the way the project road passes through some habitation areas and side by side of many bheries.
Most of the cases it is seen that at one side of the road there is the residential areas and on the other
side there exists a bheri. But there are some places where both side of the road are occupied by only
bheries or only residential areas. The following table shows the areas with one side bheri or both side
bheri.

As the existing alignment passes through some habitation areas as well as side by side of huge water
bodies, it forced the alignment to take some sharp curves. It is felt that realignment is necessary at
those points with proper geometric design. Three such location have been identified nearchainage2.0
km, 3.8 km and 5.0 km. The proposal along with the existing alignment is shown in following figures.

CHAPTER 2
ENGINEERING SURVEYS AND INVESTIGATIONS

3.1 General

A detailed ground reconnaissance of the project was undertaken after study of maps and preliminary data
collected from different sources. Thereafter, separate teams were deployed along the highway section to conduct
surveys and investigations.

3.2 Topographic Survey

The detailed topographical survey has been carried out. The alignment of the proposed road has been fixed
in such a manner that it will affect least the private land. The Topographical survey including Hydrological survey
has been carried out conforming latest IRC codal provision. Topographical survey map showing tentative
alignment of proposed bridge and river cross section has been shown in the drawing volume of this submission.
Moreover, longitudinal section along the central line of the bridge and its approach road are shown in the
drawing volume.

3.3 Soil & Material Investigations

3.3.1 General
Soil investigation along the project road includes the following features
 Pavement Composition and Determination of Field Moisture Content (FMC) & Field Dry Density
(FDD).
 Existing Sub-grade Soil Investigation including existing Toe Sample.
 Soil Investigation for Realignment Portion.
3.3.2 Pavement Condition
The existing flexible pavement condition is apparently Fair and the crust thickness is inadequate.

3.3.3 Pavement Composition

3.3.3.1 Methodology
To assess the existing pavement composition including subgrade soil properties, test pits of size
1.00 m x 1.00 m were excavated at pavement shoulder interface down to the subgrade level
ensuring minimum damage to the original pavement and no disruption of the traffic.

The following sequence of operation was followed in each test pit:

 Manual excavation of 1.0 m x 1.0 m pit upto the subgrade level. After reaching the
subgrade level, the thickness of the pavement component layers were measured and type
of material examined

 Project: Widening & Strengthening of Sector V to Bantala
from 0.00 KM to 6.600 KM in the District of South 24 Parganas

 A field (in-situ) dry density using sand replacement method as per IS 2720: Part 28 was
carried out at the subgrade level.
 Adequate sample were collected from the top 300 mm of subgrade for classification &
the following laboratory tests as per IS: 2720
- Grain size analysis (as per IS: 2720 (Part IV) – 1985)
- Atterberg limits (as per IS: 2720 (Part V) – 1985)
- Moisture-Density test (Heavy Compaction) (as per IS: 2720 (Part VIII)– 1983)
- CBR (4 days soaked) (as per IS: 2720 (Part XVI) – 1985)

After the completion of field tests and collection of samples, the pits were backfilled with the
excavated materials and compacted suitably so as not to jeopardize the smooth movement of
traffic of the existing road.

One sample @ 1 km interval for the total project stretch, as directed, has been collected for
testing in laboratory. Thus total 42 number samples have been collected from Main Carriageway
Side Pit and total 07 number samples have been collected from Main Carriageway Middle Pit.

Average existing pavement thickness is found from the pit investigation is provided in below.
Some old bituminous layers have also been found at some depth.

From Figure 5 it is observed that 80th percentile of CBR values comes as 3.2%.

Thus the design CBR for flexible pavement design has been considered as 3.2%.

3.4 Traffic Study

3.4.1 Traffic Surveys
The following traffic surveys were undertaken to assess the design traffic of the project road. As the
existing traffic of the project road is very low volume due to insufficient carriageway width and narrow
bridge exist at the end of this project road. To ascertain the generated traffic of the project road after
completion of the strengthening and widening project one additional traffic survey has been done on 6th
km of Kolkata – Basanti Road.

1) 3 days (24 hrs) Classified Traffic Volume Count (for both directions) at 1 location along the project
stretch and 1 location on Kolkata – Basanti Road.

i. At 2nd km of this project road

ii. At 6th km of Kolkata – Basanti road

The summary of Traffic Survey for above two locations are given in following pages.

It is seen that present trffic volume of existing project road is significantly low. However considering the
connectivity between New Town and Bantala, this project stretch will play as a significant traffic corrridore.
It may be assumed that about 20% of traffic volume of Kolkata – Basanti Road will avail this project
corridore as it is a shortcut route going towards New Town, Rajarhat, Airport etc.

of the road

Total Traffic in the year of completion (A) = 522

The design traffic in terms of the cumulative number of standard axles to be carried during the design
life of the road has been computed using the following equation :
365 x [(1 + r)n- 1]
N = x Ax DxF
