INTRODUCTION

Mumbai is India’s main center of urban economic growth and one of the largest and most crowded metropolitan areas of the world. Mumbai is a complex urban environment characterized by diverse economic development, high population density, extensive unauthorized settlement and very high land costs. Greater Mumbai is experiencing rapid population growth, much of which is in unplanned, informal settlements. Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) has designed this project with a major effort to unlock Mumbai’s transport bottleneck.

The Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR) is one of the primary east – west link roads being built under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) to strengthen the road connectivity between Eastern Express Highway (EEH) and Western Express Highway (WEH). Commissioned by the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation Limited (MSRDC) and Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM) linking western and eastern suburbs. The Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR), with a total length of about 6.45 kms, is a critical link in improving connectivity in for the movement of people from east to west and vice-versa .The project is planned for improvement of road traffic system in the city of Mumbai and its suburbs. The road also include the city’s first double-deck bridge to disperse traffic smoothly at Kurla and at Chembur. The link road will also ease traffic at the busy Sion junction-Priyadarshni Circle belt and the T-junction near Bandra-Kurla Complex.

    For every problem caused by urbanisation there is an effective solution

    As a result of an increased population inhabiting one area, traffic congestion is often a major issue resulting from urbanisation. In London, traffic is evidently a problem. As it would be expected from a capital city home to more than 8 million people, alongside the 30 million visitors received per year, the London road network is often under tremendous strain. Despite London’s extensive public transport facilities, many still choose to drive their own vehicles around the city. In Mumbai, the road network suffers a similar strain, unable to cope with the millions it carries each day, it suffers from increased journey times, congestion, and air pollution. In London, park and ride schemes, cycle lanes, congestion charging schemes and low emission zones have been introduced to combat the traffic. In terms of its success, an example of immediate impact was the introduction of the congestion charge, reducing the amount of traffic in the heart of the capital by about 15 per cent. However, according to TFL, the reduction has not been sustained. In Mumbai, people have tried using alternative vehicles such as mopeds and scooters, and whilst this helps them to dodge traffic jams, it has only contributed more to the poor air quality caused by emissions. Ultimately, it is clear that not all solutions are effective, but in a wealthier country like the UK, there is a much higher chance of success due to the funding fuelled into these schemes; with time, the schemes may…

    Drivers of Logistic in India-Roadways

    The Indian roads and highways sector has been a key driver of India’s growth story. With a network of over 4.1 million km, Indian roads carry about 60% of the total freight and 85% of total passenger traffic of the country. In the last 5 years, the total road network increased by about 0.8 million km from 3.32 million km at a CAGR of 4.4%, of which national and state highways network increased by 5,182 km and 26,522 km respectively. In addition, during this period, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) alone awarded 19,568 km of projects for widening/rehabilitation on Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis. NHAI has set an ambitious target of awarding 8,800 km of national highway projects in 2012-13, which is about 20% higher than in 2011-12. The next few years would see a significant increase in national highway capacity.…

    The Ahmedabad Municipal Transport Service (AMTS) has been providing public transport service in the city for over five decades. In the eighties, AMTS had been catering to about 40% of the trips performed in the city (about six hundred and fifty thousand trips). Today, the service has shrunk significantly. About 350 buses cater to around two hundred and fifty thousand trips (i.e. 7- 8% of total trips in Ahmedabad). The proportion of Bicycle users in the city is also quite large (i.e about three hundred thousand). A quarter of the total trips made in the city are walk trips. As a result of the above parameters, congestion; pollution and high rates of accidents are becoming the order of the day.…

    Rural Road Case Study

    The rural road is defined as connecting public roads from village to the main road, where it will lead them market and access to other economic and social development facilities, which are not national and urban roads. Likewise, rural roads are communication routes with very low volume of traffic, generally 500 vehicles per day, whose major function is to provide access to farms and farmland (Gallegoa, Moyab, Garcıa, & Ayugac, 2008). Low volume rural roads are developed and maintained by local agencies such as District Development Committee and Village Development Committee in Nepal (Bhandari, Shahi, & Shrestha, Multi-criteria Evaluation for Ranking Rural Road Projects: Case study of Nepal, 2014), state government in India (Sarkar, 2011), Local…

    Transport Problems in Mauritius

    INTRODUCTION This briefing document reports on a process to achieve consensus among twenty major stakeholders on transport policies and actions needed for Mauritius. Following forums held on 14 and 21 September, nineteen out of twenty participants reached agreement on a set of proposals and signed a document to be transmitted to the Government of Mauritius (please find this appended). There have been many ideas over more than a decade on steps needed to enhance mobility and tackle congestion in Mauritius. Many plans and reports have been produced over fifteen years, often at considerable cost; the international community has participated alongside the Government of Mauritius; a range of projects have been adopted by successive governments; but little action has been taken. As a result, problems of both mobility and congestion have intensified. The consensus process was about bringing everyone together to formulate an agenda that would both bring great benefits to transport infrastructure and operations in Mauritius and which would be politically feasible. Participants in the forums understood the need to put Mauritius on a path to a fresh start. They attended with one resolve to get actions initiated that will bring real benefits to all Mauritians. As the forums progressed, it was clear that there were a variety of perspectives on how to cope with transport problems. What is remarkable is that all except one participant made strong efforts to reach agreement. If one…
