Ranchi 10-Lane Smart Road: Ranchi is pushing ahead with Jharkhand’s first smart road corridor that will run in 10 lanes. Survey work has started for the plan, which is set at about ₹177 crore. The corridor is meant to link Vivekananda School More to the Ring Road. It will pass via Nayasarai. In simple terms, it is planned to make travel easier through key parts of the city.
What makes the project stand out is not only the extra traffic space. It also includes places for walkers and cyclists. There will be landscaping and street lights that run on solar power.
The full stretch is close to 8.21 km. It includes two parts. The first part covers 6.089 km between Vivekananda School More and Nayasarai ROB. The next part covers 2.12 km from there towards the Ring Road.
On the 6.089 km stretch, the plan calls for a six-lane carriageway. It will also have service roads. On both sides, there will be two-lane paved shoulders. Because of this layout, reports often describe it as a 10-lane corridor.
After Nayasarai ROB, the 2.12 km stretch will be widened until it reaches the Ring Road.
If you spread ₹177 crore across the full corridor, it comes to around ₹21.6 crore per kilometre. Still, this figure should not be treated as only the cost of laying road. The money also covers service roads, shoulders, cycling and pedestrian works, landscaping, and solar installations.

The corridor will start near Vivekananda School More, beyond the Old Assembly area.
From there, it will pass through or connect areas around:
There is a key wording issue to keep straight. The main carriageway is only six lanes. It is not a typical 10-lane central carriageway.
The “10-lane” idea only shows up when you add more space. That includes the service roads on both sides, along with the six-lane main road.
Also, the extra 2.12 km leading toward the Ring Road is set up differently. Because of that, it should not be called one uninterrupted 10-lane carriageway across the full 8.21 km route.
A standout part is the plan to use solar power. Solar panels are set above sections of the cycle track. The power made there is meant to run the street lights along the corridor.
This plan mixes two jobs in one build. It gives the cycle area a covered or sheltered feel. At the same time, it uses the space where panels can be installed to generate renewable electricity.
