Widening & Strengthening of various Roads Projects at R & B

Client: Roads & Buildings Department (R & B)

Project Cost: ₹95.00 Crores

Project Overview: The Roads & Buildings Department is undertaking an extensive project aimed at the widening and strengthening of various roadways to enhance connectivity, safety, and infrastructure quality. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize the transportation network and support economic growth in the region.

Salient Features:

  • Earthwork: Comprehensive excavation and soil stabilization to prepare the foundation for road construction. This involves grading and contouring to ensure proper drainage and road durability.
  • Granular Sub Base (GSB): Laying of a crucial layer of granular materials that provides a stable foundation for the road pavement. This layer ensures load distribution and enhances the structural integrity of the roadway.
  • Wet Mix Macadam (WMM): Implementation of a high-quality WMM layer that combines aggregates with water and binding materials. This step is vital for creating a strong and flexible base that can withstand heavy traffic loads.
  • Bituminous Works: Application of bituminous layers for the road surface, including bituminous macadam, dense bituminous macadam, and bituminous concrete. These layers provide smooth, durable, and weather-resistant road surfaces.
  • Structures: Construction and rehabilitation of various road structures such as culverts, bridges, and retaining walls. These structures are essential for ensuring seamless connectivity and addressing geographical challenges.

This project is a significant investment in the region’s infrastructure, expected to improve transportation efficiency, reduce travel times, and contribute to overall economic development. The Roads & Buildings Department is committed to delivering a high-quality, sustainable, and safe roadway network through this initiative.
