Thirteen more link roads proposed in Hyderabad
The Hindu
Total cost for the 13 roads is estimated at ₹233 crore
A link between Golnaka and Nagole along the Musi River is part of the 13 more link roads being developed in the city by GHMC and HMDA in the coming days.
The link will reduce the traffic burden on the existing road between Amberpet and Ramanthapur, where an elevated corridor is under construction by the National Highways Authority of India. Besides, it will also bring down the commute time drastically for the vehicle riders. The four-lane road with pavement, stormwater drainage and footpaths will be of 1.3 km length and cost ₹20 crore.
Property acquisition is almost complete, with several property owners agreeing to accept transferable developmental rights in lieu of monetary compensation. Proposal for the road, though existing since the time of the joint State, has been pending for a long time due to several reasons.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
