Feasibility Study of R111; Upgradation from 4-LANE TO 6-LANE

Abstract

A developed transportation system is mandatory for a modern city/country and for a developed transportation system; a perfect highway design must be needed. For designing a perfect highway, it must be needed to analyze its various types of impact. We have selected the Sing Board to Chashara highway for design of its pavement and analysis of its impact on the environment. Since Narayanganj is one of the most important cities in Bangladesh, It plays a vital role in the perspective of Bangladesh. For this reasonNarayanganj is connected with the Dhaka by this Regional highway. So every day a huge amount of traffic volume moves on by using this road. So, it’s necessary to determine the pavement design and analyze different types of impact on this road, which will give it long-term durability and give better service for transportation. For long term durability and for better service of this road, we analyze its pavement type and design, analyze its growth factors, analyze transportation costs and economic efficiency, determine its noise impact and energy emission on this highway at various times of the day, and analyze the importance of noise barrier, determine its air impact and land use impact, of this road. The purpose of the study is to gauge, evaluate and suggest which type of pavement is best for the highway and how to mitigate its bad impact. Hopefully, our judgment and evaluation will be helpful for this highway's long term duration. For analyzing and evaluating all things, we organized our total project work into 12 chapters. Firstly, we discuss some introductory topics and the purpose of the study and study framework. Then we give literature review and methodology by giving the statement of data collection and limitations. After this, we analyze and compare pavement design and growth factors and cost estimation. Then, step by step, we analyzed different impacts like economic efficiency, noise, air, land use, wetland and other ecosystems, and finally concluded it by giving our evaluation and recommendation.
