7. Brief summary of project The project is related to 4 laning of section of
National Highway no. 47 (NH-47, new NH-
66) from Chertalai to Thiruvananthapuram
(from km 379.100 to km 551.900). The project
road length is 172.8 km. It starts from km
S.
No.
Information Sought Details
379.100 of NH-47 at the junction of
Thuravoor and ends at Kazhakottam junction
at km 551.900. This stretch of road passes
through three districts viz. Alappuzha, Kollam
and Thiruvananthapuram. There are 88 built-
up locations along the project road. The
existing ROW along the project road is about
30m. There are 8 nos. of major bridges, 16
nos. of minor bridges, 165 nos. of culverts
existing along the project road. The project
road from Km 379.100 to 387.500 is 4-lane,
whereas rest of the project road is 2 lanes.
There are two under construction bypasses at
Alappuzha and Kollam along the project road.
It is proposed to develop the project road to
2x2 lane divided carriageway and service
roads as per IRC guidelines having a ruling
speed of 100kms per hour. The design length
of the project shall be 170.56 kms. All existing
major bridges, minor bridges and culverts will
be retained/reconstructed to match the road
configuration. Total 54 nos. of new culverts
have been proposed. Apart from existing
bypasses, a new bypass road is proposed for
Attingal town. All bypass shall be constructed
as 2x2 lane divided carriageway and service
roads as per IRC guidelines. Two toll plazas
are proposed at Km 409+000 in Alappuzha
Bypass and Km 488+500 in Kollam Bypass.
The project road is passing through Costal
Zone Regulation (CRZ) areas at 13 locations
as submitted in CRZ status report prepared by
Centre for Earth Science Studies (CESS) in
2010 (Report Attached). Based on this study,
the MoEF&CC had accorded two
separate CRZ clearances for (i) improvement
of 2 lane to 4/6 lane Cherthala - Kazhakuttam
Road except Alappuzha and Kollam Bypass
vide letter dated 13.10.2014 and (ii) for
construction of Alappuzha and Kollam Bypass

1.1 Is any CRZ-I (A) nearby? Yes The alignment of Kollam bypass (under
construction) crossing over Ashtamudi
Kayal (Thrikkadavur) is passing over a
small patch of mangrove. The total area
of CRZ-I(A) is about 396.461 sqm
(Length – 30m approx.)
The MoEF&CC Infrastructure and CRZ
Project’s Expert Appraisal Committee
(EAC), while hearing the cases for CRZ
clearance for Alappuzha Bypass and
Kollam Bypass decided to do physical
verification of alignment. Accordingly,
a team of MoEF&CC representatives
physically verified the CRZ areas. On
physical verification, it was found that
the actual standing mangrove
vegetation at Ashtamudi Kayal, is
limited to an area of 140 sqm instead of
300 sqm as reported in CESS study It
was further reported that mangroves
located near Ashtamudi Kayal are not
likely to be affected in any way during
the construction of the proposed
project.
