INTRODUCTION
“The "Manual of Specifications and Standards for Six Laning of Highways through Public
Private Partnership” was frst pubished in 2010 and subsequently revised in 2013. The Project
Preparation, Contract Management, Quality Assurance & Public Private Partnership Commitee
{(G-1) felt the necessity to revise this document and accordingly constituted a sub-group under the
‘convenorship of Shri MP. Sharma with Shi Ashok Kumar, Col.A.K. Bhasin, Shri Nimalit Singh,
Shri AV. Sinha & Shri PL, Bongiwar as members to review the Manual. The draft revision was
‘discussed in a number of meetings by G-1 Committee before approving the same in its meeting
held on 6 October, 2018 for placing before the General Specifications & Standards Committee
(GSS) for consideration, The GSS Committe in its meeting held on 24" October, 2018 approved
this document for placing before the Council for consideration and approval. The Council in
its 216" meeting held at Nagpur (Maharashtra) on 22° November, 2018 approved the draft
revision of "Mansal of Specifications & Standards for Six Laning of Highways" for printing. The
‘Sub-Group recewved inpuls from Shri Jacob George in drating Sections on Road Safely and
Cross-section drawings which is duly acknowledged.

'v) The detailed design and layout of the Interchange shall conform to broad parameters and requirements specified by the Authority in Schedule ‘B’ of fhe Concession Agreement. Based on detailed survey and investigations, the ‘Concessionalre shall develop appropriate detailed drawings and designs and ‘submit to the Independent Engineer for review and comments f any. 3.42 Types of interchanges i) Interchanges are generally descrbed by the pattern of the various turing roadway or amps, which determine theit geometric configuration. The common ‘Geometic configurations of nterchanges are the trumpet, diamond, cloverteat, ‘olary and directional. Within each type of Interchange, there can be several ‘Panslons such as split diamond, partial cloverleaf, etc. depending on the ramp arrangements ii) Thetype interchanges. the shape and pattern ofthe Intorcnange ramps and [oops and their designs shall be governed by factors such as the importance Srthe intersecting highway, the number of intersecting legs, the desion Jolumes of through and turing traffic movements including their composition, the design speeds, available right of way and topography.

The HFL should be decided by inteligent inspections, local observations, enquiries and studying the past records.
