• Breast walls and retaining walls are presently in poor
condition.
• It was observed that cut and fill method was adopted.
• To Retain the filling retaining wall (Dry RR) has been
provided using available cut materials
• To retain the slope on the hill side in land slide zones, breast
walls have been constructed

• End Point: 0589568 E, 3645429 N
– The Realignment will help in avoiding the small built-up
areas alongside the present project corridor.
– Geometrically the proposed realignment is also viable as it
would reduce the overall length as well as blind curves and
hairpin bends that lie along the existing road.
