Construction of Feeder Road Type-B
 

Roads connecting the Growth centres with Thana HQ's or arterial road system have been  identified  as feeder road type-B. These are only surface links  between the growth centres with locations of its higher order (Thana, Zilla or National HQ). The smooth and effective circulation of agricultural produce and their commodities will not take place, unless the physical links between these growth centres and location of its higher order are established through construction and improvement of these feeder roads type-B in order to develop the Growth centres into integrated service centre-cum-markets.

Criteria for selection of FRB

Basically following criteria were applied in preparing a tentative list for Feeder Roads development.
The criteria are as follows:
-The growth centre/hat based local transport and trading network approach.The proposed FRB
must be in conformity with the definition i.e. to provide connection of growth centre with thana HQ
and arterial roads system or from growth centre to growth centre.Network development should be
emphasized.
-It has to have an existing alignment and should not involve a new alignment.
-FRB should connect a growth centre located remote from the RHD(Road and Highway Division) road network.
-FRB should be the most important road connection between the growth centre and the RHD road network.FRB should connect the growth centre to the RHD road network in one direction.
-FRB should connect an RHD road which is passable all year round by motor vehicle.
-FRB should be at least 2 km long.                                 
 
Other criteria
-Cost and time saving in regional transport, and                  
-Location-specific water management needs.

Construction of Bridges and Culverts:
 

LGED is entrusted to develop local rural Infrastructure. So, development of Bridge and culverts on rural roads is also one prime mandate of the organization. District and Thana offices are technically sound to construct these bridge and culverts. Thana plan book is being maintained and updated by the Thana technical staffs from which Bridge and Culverts are selected to construct every year depending on the priority. Some Environmental and other technical issues are taken care during selection.

Every year thana offices utilizes thirty percent of total thana budget for road and road infrastructure development.
