RING ROAD

A ring road is a road or the series of

connected road encircling a town or

city.

As per American and European , the

name Beltline, circumferential

(high)way, Loop or Orbital are calling

name after ring road.

It is used for linkage nodes to enter

urban center.1/3/2016 3

RING ROAD IN KATHMANDU

• Network of nodes (Kalanki-Satdobato-

Koteshwor-Chabihil-Balaju&Kalanki) is our

Ring Road constructed around 35 years ago.

• It has 2 lane capacity with 27 km in orbital

length.

• Being Capital of country, the density of roads

is increasing with increased settlement &

urbanization.

• Improvement and widening process are

todays needs for ring road.

INNER RING ROAD & PROPOSED ORR KATHMANDU VALLEY

HISTORY OF ORR in KATHMANDU

1/3/2016 8

On transport perspective

JICA recommended transportation route linking Lubhu

to Gokarna in 1993.

GoN in F.Y. 2004-’05 decided to launch the ORRDP

based on the feasibility study carried out by NEPECON

in 2000.

On urban development perspective

most people are ambitious & strongly advocated for

immediate implementation of this project beside the

situation of the Kathmandu valley during yesterdays.

Now MoUD acting land Polling & trying to implement the

project construction by means of donor agencies.

OBJECTIVES OF OUTER RING ROADSDe congest metropolitan area and inner ring

road to meet future demand

Decentralization of business activities to the peripheral areas through development of new 'business centers' with mixed land use system

Provide orbital linkage to radial arterial roads Connect urban nodes

Infrastructure development at different nodal points

Destruction of traditional settlements in the rural areas including Intensification of earthquake vulnerability

AIM of ORR

• To develop plan city by means of land pooling

system from land owner, which fixed the right of

way and well planning on either sides of ORR.

1/3/2016 10

VISION of ORR

• To develop Kathmandu as a Capital of country, by

means of urbanization model with services and

facilities of ORR.

MISSION of ORR

• To construct ORR in given time frame with social

and environment friendly having higher degree of

technology.

Some Figures• Feasibility of Proposed road length = 71.93≈72.00 Km

• Various dilemmas in certain section for fixing centerlines. So actual length may decreases up to=67.0 Km

• Overlap existing road(Araniko Highway, Thimi to Jagate)=3.0Km

• Proposed tunneling

1.at Nagarjun=400.0m

2. at White Gumba ≈900.0m

• Right of way =50.0 m

• Planning Area either side of ORR=250.0m

(with infra. of radial roads, drainage facilities, planning of land by land pooling of owner @ 1/3 missing themselves)

1/3/2016 11

• Alignment along Kathmandu=35.08 Km

-(intersect 22 local bodies with 2municipality)

• Alignment along Bhaktapur =21.05 Km

-(intersect 13 local bodies with 2municipality)

• Alignment along Lalitpur = 15.80 Km

-(intersect 9 local bodies )

• Design period =20 years

• To network Southern & Eastern entry points of

valley by express Highway.

• To hold high density of traffic movement inside

valley by slow lanes.

• To act as boarder between rural and urban areas of

Valley

• To mitigate uncontrolled settlements between urban

and rural areas.

• To network radial roads up to core areas.

• To divert business activities from core to peripheral

area

1/3/2016 19

WHY ORR ??

HOW ORR HELPS TO DEVELOPED URBAN

??• It served as transport designed city

with orbital network.

• Being orbital as an ideal network for

valley, then proposed radial and

arterial connection to the nodes are

easier to link.

• Act as a Transport Hub of the country

for networking.

1/3/2016 20

WHO ARE BENEFICIARIES??

All local & urban area officials could save time to

reach destination.

Employment opportunity gain by local people from

decentralization based on production firms and

industrial needs.

A higher Population among 2.517 million (CBS 2011)

from valley districts and peoples immerging from

outside valley could achieved their principal need.

People earned from tourism around the peaks of

valley & directly involves on their livelihood

improvement plan.
