Abstract

ABSTRACT:

The project proposes constructing an underground tunnel from wai (jor) to pratapgad to address acute traffic congestion, regular road accidents, and long travel time on present mountainous roads. The present highway, with its steep curves and ascents, fails to support growing vehicular movement, resulting in traffic congestion and safety hazards, especially during peak tourist periods. The tunnel will provide a straight and unbroken journey, less reliant on the meandering ghat roads and lowering travel time drastically.For this purpose, an extensive traffic volume survey was done in the area of pratapgad, evaluating vehicle traffic, congestion rates, and accident statistics over the past few years. This information assisted in realizing the current road conditions and justifying the construction of a safer, more efficient route. The tunnel will not only improve road safety but also help in sustainable development by cutting down on vehicle emissions and fuel usage.
