## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

## (SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a)  Flyovers/bypasses  on  National  Highways  across  the  country  are taken up based on traffic volume, requirement of safety and efficient mobility,  removal  of  congestion  at  intersections,  land  constraints, subject to inter-se priority and availability of funds.
- (b)  Acquisition  of  land  and  removal  of  commercial  structures  for construction of flyovers and slip roads is a big challenge due to severe resistance from the land and property owners. Similarly, for construction of bypasses, many times there is opposition /resistance from farmers against acquisition of land for green field alignments.
- (c) to (e) The details of proposals received from the State Government of Maharashtra for construction of bypasses during the last three years and the current year are at Annexure-I. Funds are allocated for National Highway works state wise and not project wise. The present status of the  on-going  stand-alone  bypass  projects  along  with  their  present progress  are at  Annexure-II.  The  proposals  received  from  State Governments are considered and sanctioned based on their inclusion in Annual Plan,  satisfying  the  aforesaid  norms/criteria  as  per  Ministry's guidelines/ circulars and IRC codes.
