Description

Chhattisgarh Public Works Department (CGPWD) in 2002-2003, prepared a 10-Year Master Plan for Road Sector Development (MPRSD) for the years 2003 to 2012. MPRSD is based on social and economic development needs, development priorities for the road sector, and alternative investment strategies to support social and economic development priorities. It aims to (i) promote development of six main road corridors, (ii) remove capacity bottlenecks from the network to better connect rural areas, and (iii) support socio-economic development by improving road access and connectivity among growth centers. Based on MPRSD, Government of Chhattisgarh prepared and approved a priority investment program to improve about 5,000km of state roads at an estimated cost of about Rs105 billion ($2 billion).
