What might be the Cost of cement road for 9 meter & 12 meter wide road? approximately 6km distance in the residential layout?
The cost of constructing a cement concrete road depends on several factors such as material costs, labor, machinery, and site conditions. Here’s an approximate cost breakdown for a 6 km long road with widths of 9 meters and 12 meters in a residential layout.
Key Factors Affecting Cost
- Road Dimensions:
- 9 meters wide, 6 km long = 54,000 m²
- 12 meters wide, 6 km long = 72,000 m²
- Thickness of Concrete Layer:
Typical thickness: 200 mm (8 inches) for residential roads. - Material Costs:
- Cement (per m³): ?5,000 – ?6,500
- Aggregates (per m³): ?800 – ?1,200
- Sand (per m³): ?700 – ?1,000
- Steel Reinforcement (if required)
- Formwork and Curing Materials
- Labor & Machinery:
Includes excavation, leveling, concrete mixing, and curing. - Miscellaneous Costs:
- Drainage system
- Markings, signage, and safety barriers
Estimated Cost Calculation
For a 200 mm thick concrete road:
- 1 m² of road (0.2 m thick) requires 0.2 m³ of concrete.
- Concrete cost = Approx. ?5,000/m³
1. For a 9-meter-wide road:
54,000 m²×0.2 m³/m²=10,800 m³54,000 \ \text{m²} \times 0.2 \ \text{m³/m²} = 10,800 \ \text{m³}
Concrete Cost = 10,800 m³ × ?5,000 = ?5.4 crore
2. For a 12-meter-wide road:
72,000 m²×0.2 m³/m²=14,400 m³72,000 \ \text{m²} \times 0.2 \ \text{m³/m²} = 14,400 \ \text{m³}
Concrete Cost = 14,400 m³ × ?5,000 = ?7.2 crore
Approximate Total Cost (Including Labor, Machinery, etc.)
- 9-meter-wide road: ?6.5 – ?7 crore
- 12-meter-wide road: ?8.5 – ?9 crore
Additional Considerations
1 Drainage & Curbs: May add 5–10% to the total cost.
2 Earthwork & Subgrade Preparation: Approximately ?300 – ?500 per m².
3 Curing, Formwork & Reinforcement (if needed): Additional costs apply.
