Total ......................................................30.00 m

Minimum applied horizontal curve radius is 1,000 m, and maximum gradient is 3.8%.

NODES AND INTERCHANGES:

Five nods are designed on this section: two of the being at section ends and three in the middle part of the section.

Solutions for layout and elevation of the basic alignment are specified in such a manner that the construction of other interchanges will also be possible in the future, provided that justified traffic reasons substantiate such an action.
