In a meeting chaired by Delhi chief minister Sheila Dikshit on the 14 new bus rapid transit corridors proposed in the capital, the seven corridors that fall under PWD were given a go-ahead after the agency presented its plan. "We have been given an in-principle approval for hiring of consultants who have been finalized through a bidding process. Four consultants have been finalized for the seven BRT corridors," PWD minister Raj Kumar Chauhan told TOI.
"Several portions of these corridors may be elevated, where required. The consultants will be given six months to submit their study, after which it will be carefully perused and changes made if required. With a large number of private vehicles in the city, sufficient space needs to be allotted to them as well in these corridors which will be ensured," he added.
The groundwork already done for PWD's East-West corridor project will be made part of the BRT corridors as parts of these corridors coincide, said officials.
The total length of the BRT corridors falling under PWD is 105km. Another 124.4km fall under DIMTS, which is also working on seven BRT corridors. The 18.8km stretch from Karawal Nagar to Chilla Regulator had earlier received in-principle approval for the project after a detailed project report (DPR) was submitted by the consultants. The agency told officials at the meeting that they were still working on some changes required in the DPR and the final report will be submitted by the end of this month.
The study for the seven corridors under PWD will be divided into four packages, with a different consultant conducting the study for each package. The four different consultants have been finalized by PWD, and about Rs 14 crores is the financial estimate for hiring of consultants provided by PWD.
The first package will include three corridors - Narela to Azadpur (15km), Sarai Kale Khan to Jor Bagh (6 km) and Kirbi Place to Tilak Nagar (4.3 km). The second and third packages will consist of one corridor each - Mukundpur to Palam Mor (29 km) and ISBT Kashmere Gate to Shahi Idgah, Mundka, Tikri Border (26.5 km) respectively. The last package will consist of two corridors from National Stadium to Ghazipur (13.2 km) and ISBT Anand Vihar to CP (11km).
"At many places, the road width is less than 60 metres in the corridor from Narela to Azadpur, this results in bottlenecks. There is an elevated metro corridor on the route so BRT bus stands at centre will not be feasible here and it is too congested for an elevated BRT corridor," said a PWD official.
"However, elevated corridor may be required at places for the Vikas Marg BRT," the official added.
PWD officials also said that BRT bus stands at the centre will not be feasible on the Kashmere Gate and Mukundpur BRT corridors and the BRTs along some of these coridors will have to be elevated at places.
