15 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
15.1 General
The Feasibility Report has been prepared in accordance with the preliminary survey and
investigations. Further details of the project road are being obtained.
15.2 Conclusions
 Feasibility study has been carried out for the following project road
 Chettikulam - Natham (29.390 Kms)
 The preliminary proposals and widening options are based on preliminary survey and
investigations and are tentative only.
15.3 Recommendations
Based on the preliminary surveys and field reconnaissances carried out along the project
road of the following proposals are made at this stage of study:
 New construction, concentric and eccentric widening of the existing carriage

way of the project road is suggested. Since the geometric condition of the
existing road is nonstandard, the horizontal alignment of the project road has
been designed with standard curves to accommodate the design speed and few
realignments are also proposed.
 The proposed center line has been shifted from the existing center line at few
locations.
 Along the horizontal alignment profile symmetrical/eccentric widening has been
proposed.
 In most of the location the speed limit is in the range of 100/80 kmph.
 Reconstruction of 6 Minor Bridges, Repair & Widening of 2 minor bridges and

New construction of 7 New additional Minor Bridges to 6 lane standards is
recommended along the realignment portion.
 New Construction of 11 nos. of underpasses (Grade separator) including 1 no. of

flyover has been recommended as per the standards.

FINAL FEASIBILITY
 Reconstruction of 11 Pipe culverts as Box to 4 lane standards are recommended

along the Project stretch.
 Reconstruction of 8 Slab culvert as Box culvert and Repair & Widening of 5 Slab
culverts to 4 lane standards is recommended along the realignment portion.
 New construction of 28 Box culverts to 4 lane standards is recommended along
the realignment portion.
 Realignment and Geometric improvements to the S-curves were required, hence
Realignment at 7 locations and Curve Improvements at 10 locations were
proposed respectively.
 Drainage system including surface and subsurface drains for the Project
Highway has been proposed as per Section 6 of the Manual (IRC: SP 84-2014).
RCC covered drain has been proposed on both sides of Built-Up area locations.
 Project Facilities proposed in accordance with codal provisions is as follows,
(a) roadside furniture; (b) pedestrian facilities; (c) Landscaping; (d) bus-bays
and bus shelters; (e) rest areas; (f) street lighting & high mast lighting; (g)
Emergency Medical Services/ Medical Aid Post; (h) Highway Patrol Unit/
Traffic Aid Post; (i) Crane Services; (j) Rain Water Harvesting etc.
 A truck lay bay is proposed at Km 24+250 (Ex. Chainage 27/300).
 Road side Furniture’s proposed is as follows
 Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings
 Concrete Crash Barrier, Metal beam crash barrier, Separators (MS

railings)
 Traffic Safety Devices
 Boundary Stones
 Hectometer / Kilometer Stones
 Solar Traffic blinker signal (L.E.D)
 A Toll plaza is proposed at Km 21+020 (Ex. Chainage Km 24/050) Pudur.
 Provision of slip road totaling to a length 18.010 Km and service road totaling to a
length 2.720 Km has been proposed.
 Provision of Rest area & Wayside amenities at km 20+750 (Ex. Chainage Km

23/800) Pudur.
 11 nos. of Major Junctions and 12 nos. of Minor Junctions has been proposed at
Chettikulam to Natham stretch.
 24 Bus lay bay with Bus Shelters has been proposed along the Project Road.
 It can be seen that the project is financially not viable on BOT Toll basis with 0%,
25% & 40 % Grant under the normal scenario for Package II. It is proposed to
improve the connectivity between NH 38 and NH 785 via Thuvarankurichi –
Sirugudi – Natham Road. Hence, 30% (Approximate) of the traffic from NH
38 will be expected to travel in the proposed project road. Considering the
strategic importance and future induced traffic, the project can be taken up
on EPC (Engineering Procurement and Construction) Mode.
 Provision of user facilities and Beautification of the above mentioned Tanks
present along the project stretch includes the following,
 Construction of RCC retaining wall.
 Pedestrian guard rails along the either side of road and sides of tanks are
proposed to be provided for the entire length of 4-tank bunds.
 Tank bunds need to be leveled suitably without reducing existing top level
for construction of footpath using interlocking paver blocks for 2.0m width
for the entire length of 4-tank bunds.
 Slope protections on water side using 300mm thick stone or concrete blocks
are to be provided for 4-tank bunds.
 High mast lighting of 32 numbers to be provided for the existing 4 tanks in
8 directions of each tank.
 Statues to be provided on ashtathick sides of 4 tank bunds.
 Steps (padithurai) to be provided for each tank.
 Development lawn, shrubs, children play area, stone benches with granite
top and construction of toilet blocks at the location where land is available
on tank bund are proposed.
