Streets

The SRFD streets have been designed carefully and deliberately to serve as effective movement conduits for various users and to be an extension of the public realm.

The SRFD streets run parallel to the river on both banks and provide continuous access to the riverfront development. Access streets at key locations connect the SRFD streets to the rest of the city.

All SRFD streets have dedicated pedestrian paths with cycle tracks, parking bays, and 6 m/20ft wide carriageways. Access lanes on one or both sides of the streets provide entries to the existing development and when required, the proposed riverfront development. The infrastructure services run below the access lanes, and the stormwater line runs below the central verge.

East River Drive

The eastern part of the city does not have a continuous artery such as Ashram Road on the west, which provides continuous north-south access. East River Drive addressed this need making it possible to travel uninterrupted from the airport, in the north, to Ambedkar Bridge.

The SRFD streets on the east banks have a 30m RoW. All SRFD streets have dedicated pedestrian paths with cycle tracks, parking bays, and 6 m/20ft wide carriageways. Access lanes on one or both sides of the streets provide entries to the existing development and when required, the proposed riverfront development. The infrastructure services run below the access lanes, and the stormwater line runs below the central verge.

West River Drive

Along the western bank, Ashram Road forms a continuous north-south connection, and the SRFD streets weave in and out of the urban fabric creating connections where required. Ashram Road is undoubtedly the main vehicular artery in the western part of the city, and the SRFD streets provide alternative routes and strengthen the street network.

The SRFD streets on the west bank have a 25m RoW. All SRFD streets have dedicated pedestrian paths with cycle tracks, parking bays, and 6 m/20ft wide carriageways. Access lanes on one or both sides of the streets provide entries to the existing development and when required, the proposed riverfront development. The infrastructure services run below the access lanes, and the stormwater line runs below the central verge.
