Cont.…
The first phase of the project (Ahmedabad-Nadiad ) began in
August 2000, while the second phase (Nadiad-Vadodara) began
in June 2001.
This expressway was opened in 2004 by then Prime Minister,
Atal Bihari Vajpayee.
This new expressway has two lanes on each side and one service
lane. Two exits are provided for Nadiad (50 kms from Vadodara)
and Anand (35 kms from Vadodara).
Two wheeler vehicles are prohibited on the expressway due to
safety reasons.

Need For This Project
blessing to trade between important cities in Gujarat
considering Vadodara is an important chemical,
pharmaceuticals, cotton textiles and machine tools hub.
Ahmedabad is famous for its textile and garment industry
This expressway has come to assist and promote trade
between both the cities, since traveling time between the
cities has been reduced considerably.
The proposed improvement will aim at improving riding
quality and journey speed and reducing traffic congestion
on the highway

Project Introduction
The Ahmedabad-Vadodara road corridor is a part of Delhi-
Mumbai leg of Golden Quadrilateral corridor.
This section of NH-8 from Ahmedabad to Vadodara in the State
of Gujarat is proposed to be taken up for six laning under NHDP
Phase-V.
The project is proposed to be implemented under Public Private
Partnership (PPP) mode and executed as Design, Build, Finance
and Operate (DBFO) contracts.
The Ahmedabad Vadodara Expressway, also known as National
Expressway 1, is a major lifeline for public transport connecting
the cities of Ahmedabad and Vadodara in the state of Gujarat

ECOLOGICAL RESOURCES
The project area passes through vegetation cover of uniformly
distributed trees along the road
there are about 39,590 trees comprising of Neem, Desi Bawal,
Gando bawal, Nilgiri, Mango, Amla, Jamun.
The entire stretch of trees along the project road is classified as
protected forest as per Gujarat Government Gazette dated July 5,
1973,.
This plantation was carried out by Social Forestry Division of the Forest Department in phases.
There is no reserved forest within 10 km distance on either side in the entire stretch of the project highway.

Wildlife and Bio-diversity
Project road does not pass through any National
Park/Wild Life Sanctuary.
Domesticated animals constitute the major proportion
of faunal density in the area surrounding the project
highway.
No endangered species , wildlife has been found during
the field visit. Some of the common species of fauna in
the project area includes Monkey, Nilgai, Jackal, Wild
Cat etc.
16
SOCIO CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT
The project highway traverses through 48 number of villages/
settlements and is often dotted with religious and cultural
properties.
Agriculture continues to be the primary occupation of the
majority of people along the project road. The main crops grown
in the area are rice, jowar, bajra, wheat and maize.
Industries
Many industrial units are located along the project road with the
prominent ones being cold storage units, auto-parts related and
transport companies. A total of about 140 industrial units are
located along the project road.

Impact on Environmental Resources
Water Environment
Surface water : 3 rivers and 19 ponds will be impacted due to the project.
● Environment
Air : Increased gaseous pollution along with fugitive dust emissions.
Public Health and Road Safety
Discomfort arising of air and noise pollution.
Hazard of accidents

Environment Monitoring and Management Plan
An environmental budget for Rs. 9, 23, 47,500
(Rupees Nine Crores Twenty Three Lacs Forty Seven Thousand and Five Hundred Only) has been drawn up.
This provides for compensatory plantation, enhancement of sites, and cost of monitoring. This amount has been integrated into the budget

CONCLUSIONS
The proposed expansion aid in infrastructure development and
will act as a catalyst to boost the economic progress of the
state.
After the expressway NE-1 between Ahmedabad and Vadodara, the traffic has reduced considerably on NH 8 and this has affected the economic growth in the region.
