Rehabilitation and Up gradation of existing 2 lane to 2 lane with paved shoulder from Jowai (km 69.2) toMeghalaya/ Assam Border (km 173.20) Section of NH-44 in the State of Meghalaya under NHDP Phase-IIIProgramme (Package No. NN/DL2/4)EXECUTIVE SUMMARY0.1 INTRODUCTIONNational Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has been entrusted to implement an ambitiousplan on development of various national highway corridors for augmenting their capacityadequately for safe and speedy movement of traffic taking into account the traffic growthin such corridor in future decades. Such network of good national highways is projectedto be the minimum basic requirement of providing a level playing field for the producersand manufacturers in different regions of the country. The project of 2 lane with pavedshoulder of Jowai town to Assam/Meghalaya section (km 69.2 to km173.200) of NH-44 inthe state of Meghalaya is part of National Highways Development Phase III Programme.NH-44, which takes off from NH-40 at Shillong passing through Jowai and Silchar, entersTripura and goes up to Agartala. This National Highway is thus a lifeline for Tripura Stateand touches international border.0.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECTThe project road takes-off after Jowai town, at a Chainage km 69.200, and ends, at km173.200 near Assam/Meghalaya border (Total Length is 104 km). The project roadtraverses through the settlements, of Khlerihat, Ludrambai, Wapung and Mynkere,Sonapur falling in the district Jaintia Hill of Meghalaya State, the stretch of the projectroad passes through hilly terrain having a general height of 100 m to 1600 m above MSLthrough the district of Jaintia Hills, which is a part of eastern side of Meghalaya. Quite afew settlements are thickly populated and there is no land available for widening.The proposed improvement will aim at improving riding quality, and journey speed andreducing traffic congestion on the highway. The options of concentric widening and left orright side widening have been considered for the improvement project so as to utilize theexisting right-of-way (ROW) as far as possible and minimize acquisition of additional land.However, land acquisition will be required through entire stretch.Table Es 1: project InterventionsSl.no Features Existing Proposed1 Right of way 10 to 12m in hillyterrain; 15 to 17m inrolling2 Carriageway 2- lane carriagewaywith width of 6.45 to8.3m.20m2- lane carriageway of 7m with 1m pavedshoulder on hill side and 1.5m paved plus0.5m granular shoulder on valley side.Junctions Minor-29 Up-gradation3 Bridges:Major4 1 reconstruction;3 repairedMinor 35 1 reconstruction34 to be repaired4 Culverts :Pipe5 Slab/ RCCslab50 10 to be reconstructed40 to be repaired391 85 to be reconstructed306 to be repaired6DrainageMasonry drain –68.716 kmUnlined drain -74.8 kmStone masonry drain -3.36km7 Slope Masonry retaining Retaining walls and breast walls-Draft Environmental Impact AssessmentEs - i
