The government has taken up a project to improve the road transport connectivity to the Outer Ring Road (ORR) from the core of the city and surrounding areas which will encompass 1-km stretch on either side of the growth corridor zone of ORR. The annual report of the Municipal Administration & Urban Development for the year 2020-21 which was released on Friday by the Minister for MA & UD K.T. Rama Rao, mentioned that the project for ‘Comprehensive Road Connectivity to ORR’ aims to provide efficient and seamless connectivity between ORR, Inner Ring Road and the core of the city, besides better road connectivity to the newly formed municipalities and urban local bodies within ORR and HMDA. For this, the city area is divided into four sectors based on ORR alignment, namely, Shamshabad Road to Patancheru, Patancheru to Shamirpet, Shamirpet to Pedda Amberpet, and Pedda Amberpet to Shamshabad Road. Consultants have been appointed to carry out detailed study and initiate the project, the report said.
