Four laning of Sambalpur-Orissa/Chhatisgarh section of NH-6 and Bhubaneshwar-Puri Section of NH-203 in the State of Orissa under NHDP Phase III approved

Press Information Bureau, May 06, 2010

The Cabinet Committee on Infrastructure today approved the implementation of the project of four laning of Sambalpur-Orissa/Chhatisgarh section of NH-6 and Bhubaneshwar-Puri Section of NH-203 in the State of Orissa under NHDP Phase III on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (DBFOT ) pattern.

The total project cost of Sambalpur-Bargarh-Orissa/Chhatisgarh Border is estimated at Rs.909 crore under the DBFO pattern. The concession period of the project shall be for 30 years including a construction period of 30 months.

The total project cost of Bhubaneshwar-Puri section is estimated at Rs.505.29 crore under the DBFO pattern. The concession period of the project shall be for 29 years including a construction period of 30 months.

The project will reduce the time and cost of travel of the traffic, particularly heavy traffic running between Sambalpur to Orissa/Chhatisgarh border and the traffic running from Bhubaneshwar to Puri. It will also increase the potential of employment to local labourers for the project activities.

The project of Sambalpur to Orissa/Chhatisgarh border is major link to the Chhatisgarh and the project of Bhubaneshwar-Puri is major road to link the pilgrim place.

BACKGROUND:
The Cabinet had approved four/six laning of 4000 Km. of National Highways under NHDP Phase IIIA on BOT basis in March, 2005. Subsequently, approval for additional stretches was granted in May, 2006, October, 2006 and April, 2007 for implementation of four laning for a total length of 12109 Km. at an estimated cost of Rs.80626 crore.

Connectivity to Bargarh

Courtsey Navaratnanews:
Bargarh is the district head quarter of Bargarh district that is located on 21-20’ North latitude and 83-37’ east longitude. Bargarh is at a distance of 50 Kilometers from Sambalpur city and 370 Kilometers from the state capital Bhubaneswar and 230 Kilometers away from Raipur city (Chhatisgarh). Bargarh is well connected by road (National Highway – 6, Kolkata-Mumbai) and (National Highway – 201, Bargarh-Boriguma) National Highway towards Visakhapattnam of Andhra Pradesh). It is at a distance of 1375 Kilometers away from Mumbai and 575 Kilometers away from Kolkata.

New suggestions: (1. Road Transport & Highways)

National Highway 201 links Boriguma on National Highway with Baragarh (Borigumma-Bolangir-Bargarh). The highway has a total length of 310 km. National Highway 201 originates at Boriguma in Koraput District and runs northwards through Nabarangpur-Ampani-Baldhiamal to reach Bhawanipatna, (cover the distance of 128 km). Beyond Bhawanipatna, the road continues through Kesinga-Saintala-Balangir-Barpali and meet at Baragarh on National Highway 6.

 For more information if we check the NH 200, it runs trough Raipur-Bilaspur-Raigarh-Kanaktora-Jharsuguda-Kochinda-Deogarh-Talcher-Chandhikhol. For the socio-economic development of the backward region (which are not yet connected with NH in Bargarh district), we propose for the extension of the NH 201 from Bargarh to Raigarh (Chhatisgarh) covering through Bhatli and Ambabhona. At the other hand we also propose to connect the NH 217 (Raipur-Nuapada-Bhawanipatna-Kandhamal-Gopalpur) from Bargarh via Bijepur-Gaisilat-Padmpur-Paikmal-Jharbandh-Nuapada. NHs are not only the source of socio-economic growth rather these will also help us binding together.
