Shirady repairs no takers- NH in a fix
“According to the recommendations a truck with 6 wheels can carry up to 10 tonnes and truck with 10 wheels can carry up to 16 tonnes. But the Transport authorities were allowing them to carry 40 tonnes”.
40 tons are allowed in some parts of the world, even 60 tons are being tested but on articluated vehicles where weight is distributed over miltiple axes. Importantly I dont know if any of them are hill roads with the type of breaking required at the turns.
Time to tunnel through the hills NHAI???

As we have been discussing, taking the gazette notification as the reason, the NICE PRR tolls have been increasing exhorbitantly..it stands more 3.5 times the NHAI norms today..if hes going to charge that for the shiradi ghat..none will be interested!
Also if he starts setting terms as he did with mysore road land acqusitions none will be interested..below is the nandi road compared to yamuna expressway
BMIC
Yamuna Expressway
Location
Bangalore-Mysore
Noida-Agra
Length(in Kms)
111
165
Number of lanes
4 Lanes (expandable to 6)
6 Lanes (expandable to 8)
Number of Townships
5
5
Land granted
20,193 acres (4894 additional to be granted)
6,175 acres (4000 additional to be granted)
so..land grant and everything needs to get negotiated well to really give kheny this project..if at all..
Btw just travelled on the NHAI built expressway towards hassan from blr..its better than any road I have travelled till date..once that road is done..Mlr will be just 6-8 hrs anyways from blr..
Btw are we also not talking of a direct raliway line to hassan to make the mlr-blr route shorter? If yes, shouldnt we wait for that and take care of the small patch of evergreens that we have??

But, the 40km Saklespur - Uppinangadi stretch itself will take close to two hours, given its condition today (check this), unless you are in a 4-wheel drive SUV may be.

Leardal is the worlds longest road tunnel of 25kms. What is interesting is the speed of execution, 25kms got built & commissioned in just 5 years.

My 6-8 hrs was with the calculation that it will take 3-4 to reach Hassan and 4 hours from there to Mlr..
However as we know, the reason for the road to get spoilt is the bullet tankers on this road..there is already a pipe line drawn from MRPL till Hassan, thats what I heard last 2 yrs ago, but this pipeline is not being used because of the bullet tanker owners mafia..so all it needs is some strong leadership to take tough decissions to stop the tankers on the ghat road and relay a decent road after that..that will surely suffice for years!!

Now we have a person who is thinking on these lines & willing to make it happen
Kheny offers to build Shiradi tunnel road
In the ghats section, it is better to go for tunneling than cutting trees for road widening. It also helps in shortening the travel distance. The government need not spend a penny for any of the road proposals I have submitted
