Points to be addressed as per Minutes of Meeting

1. The consultants were requested to study both at-grade and
elevated proposal for the selected option.
2. The consultants were requested to segregate the area details of
land acquisition and structures to be affected due to L.A.
3. The consultant was requested to study the proposal of Highways
Department in the Kalliamman Street in conjunction with the

proposed proposal.

Points 1: At-grade vs Elevated proposal

The alignment passes through boundary of church and if we go at

grade it will require larger area at ground and demolition of

structures in the church area will become unavoidable. Whereas if
we go elevated, demolition may be avoided by options various pier

position.
The alignment passes through the built up area and hence at grade
may increase the demolition which may be avoided in case of
elevated proposal.

 Proposal though being highest on cost requires least land acquisition

and solves the problem of traffic congestion to the maximum
Based on economic benefits in terms of savings in VOC and savings in
travel time cost for passenger and goods vehicles of all the alternatives
Proposal 5 is recommendate.
An economic internal rate of return of 27.17% (more than 12% of
discounted rate) and positive value of INR 19,777.30 Lacs as NPV of
net benefits indicates the economic viability of project road for the
