Jaipur Ring Road


Jaipur Outer Ring Road or ORR is a 150 kilometer, 6-lane ring road encircling the City of Jaipur, Rajasthan, India. It is built by Jaipur Development Authority. The expressway is designed for speeds up to 120 km/h.
Construction of Ring Road around Jaipur was conceived by PWD in December 2000 on BOT basis. In Phase I & II, a road with a length of 47 km will be constructed in the south of Jaipur, connecting Ajmer Road, Tonk Road and Agra Road. In Phase III, a road with a length of 97.75 km will be constructed in the northern part of Jaipur and will connect Agra Road, Delhi Road, Sikar Road and Ajmer Road.

Construction

The construction contract, valued at 110 million Rupees, was awarded to Sanjose-Supreme in May 2011.
It will consist of a six-lane access controlled expressway; a three-lane service road on both sides; a 135 m R&R and an investors' development corridor on both sides. The road is envisaged as a toll-free and signal free expressway.
The project stalled due to deadlock between the JDA and the farmers over compensation to be paid for acquisition of the land. To solve the deadlock the Union ministry of urban development proposed a scheme whereby the land owners would received 60% of their land area back, instead of the previous 25%, in the form of new regular plots with road access.
