Road less travelled

Filed under:

The cabinet is considering construction of six expressways on arterial routes Delhi-Chandigarh, Mumbai-Vadodara, Delhi-Jaipur, Delhi-Meerut, Chennai-Bangalore and Kolkata-Dhanbad to make fantastically fast road travel a possibility.

Most, if not all, of these routes overlap with the Rs 58,000-crore National Highways Development Project (NHDP) to construct the golden quadrilateral and north-south-east-west corridors.

The proposal, which derives inspiration from the Mumbai-Pune expressway, urges people to hurtle along at an average speed of 90 km/hr, for a payment of more than Re 1 per kilometre as toll tax. The Mumbai-Pune expressway is in the red because travellers would rather use the old, toll-free road.

Feasibility studies, proposed to be carried out over the next eight or nine months, should be properly conducted on the new routes, to ensure there is no unnecessary duplication of existing road infrastructure, which would make the new state-of-the-art roads financially unviable.
