Status
The city has about 15 kms of state highway and the total length of the
Urban Roads is approximately 415 kms. The area utilized under the
transportation and communication is about 15 % of the city area
(253.59 ha). The proportion of the land utilization is in accordance
with the prevailing standards but the quality and condition of these
roads are very poor. The maintenance of the roads also is not
satisfactory. In monsoon season the traffic suffers considerably due
to poor condition. Most of the roads in the gaothan area are narrow .
The existing roads are not adequate to minimum
current flow and will not be able to cater for future development. It
will not be possible to cope with the Gurdwara tercentenary event
under the prevailing road condition
The status of the major roads of the city is as under: -
1. Arterial Road
This road is named M.G Road / VIP Road / workshop Road rund the full
length of the city. It is wide with four traffic lanes and runs full
length to the whole city. It is wide with four traffic lanes good
quality construction and adequate sewerage and drainage facilities.
2. Access Roads to Gurdwara:
1. Guru Tegh Bahadur Singh Road: This road is one of the main roads
connecting railway station with the Gurdwara. This road does not have
well defined traffic lanes and is not provided with the proper
sewerage and storm water facilities. The road-covering surface is not
properly maintained. Since this road has to handle major traffic from
station to Gurdwara, it will be necessary to provide proper surfacing,
traffic lanes, divider junctions and streetlights.
2. Chickelwadi Road:
This road connects Mohammed Ali Road to the Gurdwara Road and is
extremely important for the Gurdwara .The road is heavily loaded and
is in a very poor condition without even the basic tarring and does
not have the traffic lanes dividers street lights, foot path, drainage
etc. It will not be able to serve the traffic of 2008 in the present
condition. All the encroachments are required to be cleared and the
road to be reconstructed for future development. The approved TPS
details also have to be studied and implemented.
3. Bhagat Singh Road:
This road runs parallel to the Chickelwadi road and is another important
roads to access the Gurdwara. As explained above the service condition
of the roads is very poor as the status of the road is similar to the
Chickelwadi road. The road suffers from bad surface condition narrow
lanes, improper drains and sewerage arrangements. This road is used as
an alternative / bypass to access the Gurdwara for the tercentenary
function and restructuring this road has its priority in the
development if the city. This road leads to Bapna road.
4. Bapna Road:
This road is also an important road to access the Gurdwara. This road
leads to Subhash road, which is a very busy area. The status of the
roads is very poor as explained above. The road also gets flooded in
the rainy season due to very poor and inadequate drainage
arrangements. The renovation and restructuring of the roads will have
to planned as a priority.
5. Monta Road:
This road has been renovated recently and lead to one of the busy market
areas called square market. This road is also important to access the
Gurdwara.
6. Gurdwara Gate NO: 3 –
This road is also in a very poor condition. Considering the relevance
of the road as an important convergence point for the crowd movement
the development of the road has top be taken up as a priority. The
whole area is highly congested and encroached for commercial and
residential purposes. A master plan for the entire area is proposed by
the Gurdwara authorities and road planning to suit the further traffic
load will have to be done.
7. Naghina Ghat Road:
This road leads to the important Gurudwara at Naghina Ghat. The road is
narrow and is encroached by shops all, along the road. This road also
provides access to various accommodation facilities of the Gurdwara.
Though the layout of this road is decent it should be made freer to
access the Naghina Ghat.
Proposed Developments:
The Sachkhand Gurdwara inside the city area would exert considerable
pressure on the city roads and these roads will have to be developed
based on the traffic management arrangements as visualized for the
pilgrim movement. The following roads will have to be considered for
development in the event context.

The roads will play an important role in the event for the
pilgrims to access city; visit various Gurdwara in the city
and outside and for implementing the traffic management plans
in the city area.
The key improvement that has to be made in the city road
sections is as follows:
• Existing city roads which are narrow, over crowded and with
encroachments at many locations have to planned to make it
more wide, restructure and more resurfaced with proper
footpath, street lights, reconstruction of open drains etc.
• Roads near the Gurdwara will be replanned to suit the master
planning requirements of the Gurdwara.
• Additional flyover / over bridge and three tier road
arrangement near the railway station.
Access Road to Nanded City
Observations of the Study
The roads are based on the black cotton soil in most of the area. Under
wet monsoon conditions, the black cotton soil yields if the
drainage of sub soil water is not effective
• The side berms are not properly constructed. It appears that
they are constructed i•n Morrum and are directly resting on
the Black Cotton soil, which have yielded under hot/rainy
season conditions.
• The roadside open drains are not proper. They are not
constructed for proper section to carry full storm water
drainage. The quality of construction is very poor and the
rainwater spills over the berms.
• The major open drains in city along these roads carrying
storm water to river are not constructed in masonry/ concrete.
The roadside drains gets back charged due to overflow
conditions. The open drains are connected to sewer lines in
the roads, which are already flowing to maximum capacity, and
hence the storm water is not effectively drained.
• The maintenance of the road is not done properly. The
contractual; system does not appear to be effective to carry
out prompt repairs.
• The encroachment/shops/ houses in city area poses serious
problems on keeping traffic lanes effective.
Status of Access Roads:
The majority trade and agriculture activities of the Nanded
city are dependent on the Road Transport. During the
tercentenary event visitors from Nagpur Hyderabad or
Aurangabad airport are likely to travel by road and it is
important to maintain the access road s to Nanded in good
service conditions. A suitable tolling process could be
introduced at Nanded to recover the costs incurred in the
repair and to better the conditions of the access road to
Nanded.
1. Deglur Road: This road connects Nanded with Deglur
and further to Hyderabad. The traffic on this road is very
high and the road is damaged at many locations. The road is
narrow and the traffic lanes are not well defined. The
junctions and the roads crossings are not properly laid and
which results in the traffic jams and slows traffic movement.
The junction at the hingoli road and Muhammedali road is
extremely important for the access to the Gurudwara but is not
properly managed. The entire road in the city area requires
restructuring and replanning existing the hingoli road to
facilitate proper traffic planning and smooth traffic flow.
This road will act as the access road to Gurudwara from the
largest camps planned Shikhar Ghat and Matasaheb and hence the
improvement of the Road takes priority in the development
process.
2. Hingoli Road: This road connects the Hingoli and
Nagpur with Nanded. The airstrip is along this road and hence
this road requires more attention for improvement. It already
has a lane system and but the berms and drains are poor and
hence affecting the traffic. It will be necessary to plan a
camp near Maltekadi Gurdwara, as this is the most important
requirement for transport to the city and Gurdwara.
3. Malegaon Road: This road connects Aurangabad to
Nanded and is important for the Commercial/economic
improvement, which will have to be planned as a priority.
4. Ring Road: This road is under construction due to
expansion of the airstrip area, part of the hingoli road will
be covered under the acquired land and the ring road is being
planned as a by pass road joining the hingoli road to deglur
road. The road encircling the airstrip area will be important
for Normal as well as Tri-centenary event for transport of
pilgrims to the Gurdwara region as a major camp will have to
be planned near the Maltekadi Gurdwara. This will also be an
access road from the new railway station planned to the city
area.
The following shows the existing condition of various
strategic roads in the city, which will be of relevance during
the event.
