TheRing Road is a 147 kilometresring road encircling the city ofJaipur,Rajasthan,India. It is built byJaipur Development Authority (JDA). The expressway is designed for speeds up to 120 km/h. Construction of the Ring Road around Jaipur was conceived by PWD in December 2000 onBOT 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 connectAgra Road,Delhi Road,Sikar Road andAjmer Road.
The construction contract, valued at₹900crore, was awarded to Sanjose-Supreme in May 2011.[1]
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 theUnion ministry of urban development proposed a scheme whereby the land owners would receive 60% of their land area back, instead of the previous 25%, in the form of new regular plots with road access.[2]
