Jharkhand plan 6 corridors & 1400 km highway network road connectivity

16 Feb 2023 CW Team

The mineral-rich state of Jharkhand may soon have a network of four-lane road corridors that would improve connectivity throughout its length and breadth. For six of these corridors in the state, totaling 1,369 km, the Road Construction Department (RCD) has asked qualified consultants to conduct feasibility studies and prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR).

East-West Corridor (393 km), Jharkhand Eastern Corridor (121 km), North-South Corridor (275 km), Jharkhand Central Corridor (140 km), Tourist Corridor (270 km), and Holy Tourist Corridor are among the six routes (170 km). The scope involves creating a 4-lane greenfield stretch as well as upgrading the 2-lane to 4-lane layout.

The DPR needs to be submitted within 90 days of the stated deadline. The agency would issue tenders for the building of these roads once the state government has given its approval to DPR. The following shows how these corridors are proposed to be aligned:

1. East-West Highway Corridor: Murisemar-Chatra-Barhi-Bengabad-Madhupur-Sarath-Palajori- Dumka
2. Jharkhand Eastern Corridor: Sahebganj- Jamtara-Nirsa-Sindri-Chandankiyari- Chandil Highway Corridor
3. North-South Corridor: Jhumri-Tilaiya-(NH 31)-NH-2(Antkidih)-Bishnugarh-Petarwar-Kasmar- Barlanga-Silii-Radgaon-Saraikela-Chaibasa-Jaingarh upto Odisha Border
4. Jharkhand Central Corridor: Ranchi-Kathitanr-Thakurgaon-Burhmu-Tandwa-Chatra-Hunterganj upto Bihar Border
5. Tourist Corridor: Milan Chowk (Silli Rangamati Road)-Sarjamdih-Tamar-Khunti-Govindpur-Sisai- Ghaghra-Netarhat-Garu-Saryu-Latehar-Herhanj-Balumath-Mcluskiganj-Chama More
6. Holy Tourist Corridor: Ranchi-Ormanjhi-Gola-Rajrappa-Lugupahari-Penk-Dumri-Giridih-Budhai- Deoghar

The tourist corridor was designed to offer seamless access to the state’s two most popular tourist sites, Netarhat and McCluskieganj. Likewise, the holy tourist corridor will make it easier for pilgrims to go to important religious sites including Birsa, Lugubura, Parasnath, and Babadham (Deoghar).
