National Highway no. 47 (NH-47, new NH-

66) from Chertalai to Thiruvananthapuram

(from km 379.100 to km 551.900). The project

road length is 172.8 km. It starts from km

No.


379.100 of NH-47 at the junction of

Thuravoor and ends at Kazhakottam junction

at km 551.900. This stretch of road passes

through three districts viz. Alappuzha, Kollam

and Thiruvananthapuram. There are 88 built-

up locations along the project road. The

existing ROW along the project road is about

30m. There are 8 nos. of major bridges, 16

nos. of minor bridges, 165 nos. of culverts

existing along the project road. The project

road from Km 379.100 to 387.500 is 4-lane,

whereas rest of the project road is 2 lanes.

There are two under construction bypasses at

Alappuzha and Kollam along the project road.

It is proposed to develop the project road to

2x2 lane divided carriageway and service

roads as per IRC guidelines having a ruling

speed of 100kms per hour. The design length

of the project shall be 170.56 kms. All existing

major bridges, minor bridges and culverts will

be retained/reconstructed to match the road

configuration. Total 54 nos. of new culverts

have been proposed. Apart from existing

bypasses, a new bypass road is proposed for

Attingal town. All bypass shall be constructed

as 2x2 lane divided carriageway and service

roads as per IRC guidelines. Two toll plazas

are proposed at Km 409+000 in Alappuzha

Bypass and Km 488+500 in Kollam Bypass.

The project road is passing through Costal

Zone Regulation (CRZ) areas at 13 locations

as submitted in CRZ status report prepared by

Centre for Earth Science Studies (CESS) in

2010 (Report Attached). Based on this study,

the MoEF&CC had accorded two

separate CRZ clearances for (i) improvement

of 2 lane to 4/6 lane Cherthala - Kazhakuttam

Road except Alappuzha and Kollam Bypass

vide letter dated 13.10.2014 and (ii) for

construction of Alappuzha and Kollam Bypass

will be taken in storage and handling of

hazardous materials, if stored at site. Also,

fire extinguishers shall be maintained at site.

No such risks are envisaged during the

operation stage.

8.2 From any other causes No Not Applicable

8.3 Could the project be affected by

natural disasters causing

environmental damage (e.g.

floods, earthquakes, landslides,

cloudburst etc.)?

Yes Identification of risk, suggesting risk

mitigation measures and observations made

towards the identification of landslide zones,

proposed mitigation measures for the

identified landslide zones, area seismicity and

evaluation of soil permeability. During the

design stage, the effects from natural disasters

will be considered and necessary

precautionary measures would be built in or

implemented (e.g. provision of adequate

number of cross drainage structures to

prevent flooding, etc.). Appropriate

engineering codes will be used during the

design process.

Yes The proposed project will provide

various benefits to the people of the area

like providing improved connectivity

provide opportunities for business

development, support other

developmental activities by providing

improved accessibility, etc. Proposed

development is likely to bring in

induced developments and not cause

adverse impact on environment as well

as on the people living in the region.

quality or scarce resources (ground

water resources, surface resources,

forestry, agriculture, fisheries,

tourism, minerals)

Yes Fish resources of the variety of water

bodies constitute the major fauna of the

project area of influence. The Arabian

Sea, brackish water bodies and fresh

water rivers have distinct assemblages

of fishes. Common wetland birds and

birds of the rural, semi-urban and urban

areas are also components of the faunal

assemblage. Snakes, rodents, frogs etc.

are also found along the project

corridor. Ashtamudi estuary is a rich

bio-diversity spot because of its fish

resources and the wetland birds (both

resident and migratory).

Yes/

No




1.1 Is any CRZ-I (A) nearby? Yes The alignment of Kollam bypass (under

construction) crossing over Ashtamudi

Kayal (Thrikkadavur) is passing over a

small patch of mangrove. The total area

of CRZ-I(A) is about 396.461 sqm

(Length – 30m approx.)

The MoEF&CC Infrastructure and CRZ

Project’s Expert Appraisal Committee

(EAC), while hearing the cases for CRZ

clearance for Alappuzha Bypass and

Kollam Bypass decided to do physical

verification of alignment. Accordingly,

a team of MoEF&CC representatives

physically verified the CRZ areas. On

physical verification, it was found that

the actual standing mangrove

vegetation at Ashtamudi Kayal, is

limited to an area of 140 sqm instead of

300 sqm as reported in CESS study It

was further reported that mangroves

located near Ashtamudi Kayal are not

likely to be affected in any way during

the construction of the proposed

project.
