3. RING ROAD
 A ring road is a road or the series of
connected road encircling a town or
city.
As per American and European , the
name Beltline, circumferential
(high)way, Loop or Orbital are calling
name after ring road.
 It is used for linkage nodes to enter
urban center.

6. RING ROAD IN KATHMANDU
• Network of nodes (Kalanki-Satdobato-
Koteshwor-Chabihil-Balaju&Kalanki) is our
Ring Road constructed around 35 years ago.
• It has 2 lane capacity with 27 km in orbital
length.
• Being Capital of country, the density of roads
is increasing with increased settlement &
urbanization.
• Improvement and widening process are
todays needs for ring road.

INNER RING ROAD & PROPOSED ORR KATHMANDU VALLEY

8. HISTORY OF ORR in KATHMANDU
1/3/2016 8
On transport perspective
 JICA recommended transportation route linking Lubhu
to Gokarna in 1993.
 GoN in F.Y. 2004-’05 decided to launch the ORRDP
based on the feasibility study carried out by NEPECON
in 2000.
On urban development perspective
 most people are ambitious & strongly advocated for
immediate implementation of this project beside the
situation of the Kathmandu valley during yesterdays.
 Now MoUD acting land Polling & trying to implement the
project construction by means of donor agencies.

9. OBJECTIVES OF OUTER RING ROADS
De congest metropolitan area and inner ring
road to meet future demand
Decentralization of business activities to the
peripheral areas through development of new
'business centers' with mixed land use system
Provide orbital linkage to radial arterial roads
Connect urban nodes
Infrastructure development at different nodal
points
Destruction of traditional settlements in the
rural areas including Intensification of earthquake
vulnerability

10. AIM of ORR
• To develop plan city by means of land pooling
system from land owner, which fixed the right of
way and well planning on either sides of ORR.
1/3/2016 10
VISION of ORR
• To develop Kathmandu as a Capital of country, by
means of urbanization model with services and
facilities of ORR.
MISSION of ORR
• To construct ORR in given time frame with social
and environment friendly having higher degree of
technology.

11. Some Figures
• Feasibility of Proposed road length = 71.93≈72.00 Km
• Various dilemmas in certain section for fixing centerlines.
So actual length may decreases up to=67.0 Km
• Overlap existing road(Araniko Highway, Thimi to
Jagate)=3.0Km
• Proposed tunneling
1.at Nagarjun=400.0m
2. at White Gumba ≈900.0m
• Right of way =50.0 m
• Planning Area either side of ORR=250.0m
(with infra. of radial roads, drainage facilities, planning of
land by land pooling of owner @ 1/3 missing themselves)
1/3/2016 11

12. • Alignment along Kathmandu=35.08 Km
-(intersect 22 local bodies with 2
municipality)
• Alignment along Bhaktapur =21.05 Km
-(intersect 13 local bodies with 2
municipality)
• Alignment along Lalitpur = 15.80 Km
-(intersect 9 local bodies )
• Design period =20 years

19. • To network Southern & Eastern entry points of
valley by express Highway.
• To hold high density of traffic movement inside
valley by slow lanes.
• To act as boarder between rural and urban areas of
Valley
• To mitigate uncontrolled settlements between urban
and rural areas.
• To network radial roads up to core areas.
• To divert business activities from core to peripheral
area

WHY ORR ??

20. HOW ORR HELPS TO DEVELOPED URBAN
??
• It served as transport designed city
with orbital network.
• Being orbital as an ideal network for
valley, then proposed radial and
arterial connection to the nodes are
easier to link.
• Act as a Transport Hub of the country
for networking.

21. WHO ARE BENEFICIARIES??
 All local & urban area officials could save time to
reach destination.
 Employment opportunity gain by local people from
decentralization based on production firms and
industrial needs.
 A higher Population among 2.517 million (CBS 2011)
from valley districts and peoples immerging from
outside valley could achieved their principal need.
 People earned from tourism around the peaks of
valley & directly involves on their livelihood
improvement plan.
