Bandipora-Gurez Road To Reopen For One-Way Traffic

[ad_1]
SRINAGAR: The Bandipora-Gurez road, which was closed due to heavy snowfall during the winter season, is set to reopen for one-way traffic from March 15, 2023.
The Border Roads Organisation’s 56 Rapid Action Force (RAF) team in Bandipora has completed the snow clearance work, as per the order issued by SDM Gurez.
One-way traffic will be allowed from Bandipora to Gurez and vice versa on alternate days. No vehicle will be permitted without anti-skid chains and overloaded vehicles, such as passenger/load carriers, will not be allowed on the road. Furthermore, no multi-axle vehicles will be permitted until further notice. The cut-off timings for traffic movement from Gurez will be 1:00 PM at TCP Trangbal and from Bandipora at TCP Kanzalwan, the order reads.
Exceptions to the restrictions will be made for vehicles and machinery of the Border Roads Organisation, Mechanical Engineering Department, and ambulances. Additionally, the BRO’s 56 RAF team will keep snow clearance machines and manpower at designated locations. In the event of a forecast for snowfall or rainfall, the road will be closed for all kinds of movement.
The reopening of the Bandipora-Gurez road is a significant development for the people of the area, who have been facing difficulties traveling due to the road’s closure. The restoration of the route will also boost the local economy by facilitating the movement of goods and people between Bandipora and Gurez.
The local authorities have advised drivers to exercise caution while driving on the road, which is prone to landslides and other natural hazards. The reopening of the road will be a major relief for the people of Bandipora and Gurez, who have eagerly awaited its restoration. (KNO)

Gadkari flags poor quality of DPRs of road projects as major problem

[ad_1]
Nagpur: Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Friday that the bad quality of Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) leads to a host of problems including cost escalation in road projects, and he was in the “mood to take a decision to allow international firms to make them.”
He was speaking at the International Conference on Asian Scenario on Infrastructural Development here.
There is a need to reduce the cost of production in road projects, he said.
Expressing disappointment over the quality of DPRs in road construction, the minister said he has “never seen a perfect DPR” in his life.
The construction industry should work on improving the DPR quality, he said.
“I am in the mood to take a decision to allow international companies to make DPRs and giving them priority, though I am not of that opinion, but because of not so good DPRs, lot of problems are being faced. Everywhere there is cost escalation,” Gadkari said.
He also said that agriculture by-products and biomass should be utilised in construction work.

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: At a review meeting at BRKR Bhavan on Saturday the chief secretary Santhi Kumari directed officials of transport, Road and Buildings (R&B) departments to complete pending maintenance works early by June.
R&B department secretary Srinivasa Raju gave an overview of the department functions. He said that the department was being re-organised and this has resulted in the increase of posts in the cadre of assistant engineer/assistant executive engineer.
He said the National Highway density which was 2.25 km/100 sq. km in 2014 is currently 4.45 km/100 sq. km.
Raju said that there has also been substantial progress in the laying of two or more lanes, during the last nine years under National Highways.
“Re-carpeting of 1,170 roads is taken up as a top priority. The length of double lanes in the state roads has been increased from 6,093 km in 2014 to 12,060 km in 2023, as per the directions of chief minister KCR,” said Raju.
“Providing double lane connectivity between mandal headquarters to district headquarters, capacity augmentation by widening of the lanes of some major district roads, state highways, construction of bridges and formation of ring roads in major towns are some of the key initiatives and projects taken up by the department,” he said.
