Three Field Studies Started

Three field studies of Stage I were started this week. They are:

1. Field survey: survey of the existing highway to prepare plans and profiles for all the highway (517Km). These will be used for later studies and to check the geometric design of the highway.
2. Geological study: A field study launched to collect data and prepare a geological report about the highway route. This will include info about the possible construction materials available along the route.
3. Traffic study: A field study started to carry out a traffic counts at selected stations along the highway. Collected data will be used in further analysis to determine design parameters including ADT, Axle load etc.

These studies are expected to be completed within 2 months.
