Aesthetically designed toll plaza incorporating integrated traffic management systems
For smooth operation of the toll road, Highway
Traffic Management system has been installed, with
the following features:
Emergency call boxes at 2 km intervals,
connected to control room to help road users
during emergency.
Variable Messaging System to convey traffic
conditions and weather forecast to the road
users.
CCTV in junctions and Plaza to check traffic
intensity, blockage, etc.
Meteorological System to collect weather data.
Radio Communication for smooth
monitoring and patrolling.
Automatic Traffic Classifier & Counter for
traffic information which also helps in data
collection for traffic studies in future.
Automated Tolling with French Technology
has been installed with minimum human

For the purpose of consistency and early
completion, pre-casting was used extensively.
Girders, box segments for culverts, cattle-crossing,
pedestrian underpass, crash barrier with friction
slab, crash barrier over vent, approach slab, deck
slab planks, hume pipes, box drains, etc. were pre-
cast to reduce construction time frames, and to
exercise better quality control.
The picturesque wedge shaped toll plaza,
constructed for the project is an architectural
masterpiece, and an innovative structure
conceptualized for the first time in India.
In line with L&T’s sustainability initiatives,
several CSR activities were carried out during the
course of execution of the project. Initiatives
such as medical welfare and education of school
children were part of these CSR activities.
