Base Construction and Road Structure
Truck routes require robust foundations to support heavy vehicle loads, including excavation, sub-base layers, and compaction.
- Granular sub-base (GSB) and wet mix macadam (WMM): ₹500 to ₹800 per running meter
- Road width typically 6 to 8 meters for two-way truck traffic
- High-load sub-grade preparation adds ₹100 to ₹150 per square foot
Surfacing and Pavement
The final surfacing must resist heavy wheel loads, fuel spills, and wear-and-tear from continuous industrial use.
- Asphalt surfacing: ₹120 to ₹180 per square foot for 100mm thickness
- RCC concrete surfacing: ₹160 to ₹250 per square foot for 150–200mm thickness
- Concrete preferred for entry zones, loading bays, or turning areas
Drainage, Shoulders, and Edge Protection
Truck routes must include efficient stormwater management and durable road edges to prevent surface failure.
- Side drains and culverts: ₹50,000 to ₹1.5 lakh per 100 meters
- Curbs and edge protection: ₹200 to ₹400 per running meter
- Shoulders with gravel or compacted earth: ₹100 to ₹200 per square foot
Total Estimated Cost
For a standard 100-meter industrial-grade truck route, the total cost typically ranges from:
- ₹12 lakh to ₹20 lakh for asphalt-based roads
- ₹18 lakh to ₹25 lakh for RCC-based roads with full drainage and edge protection
