BBMP to prepare project report to develop 14 roads

Last Updated 26 February 2018, 19:10 IST

The BBMP is all set to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) to take up the development work of 14 roads providing alternative connectivity to the International Tech Park (ITPL).

Chief Minister Siddaramaiah had announced the plan in the recent 2018-19 state Budget.

The BBMP has now identified about 43-km of roads along the 14 stretches and plans to start the work after April.

"The Whitefield area has been hit by traffic due to the ongoing Metro construction work in the area. The government will take up the development of 14 roads providing alternative connectivity to the ITPL to mitigate the inconvenience caused due to high vehicular density," Siddaramaiah had said in his Budget speech.

A BBMP official said: "We have started to prepare the DPR and in two months we will begin the work which will include remodelling of footpath and drainage and uniform carriageways."

In October 2017, the members of Outer Ring Road Companies' Association (ORRCA) met the chief minister and Mahendra Jain, additional chief secretary, Urban Development, with a proposal to develop 150 km ORRs (outer ring road).

Speaking to DH, a representative  of ORRCA said: "Since the ORR is one of the fastest-growing IT corridors in the world, we meet the chief minister and gave the proposal to develop 150-km of the road on the stretch. But at least the government has sanctioned 43-km  road development  work on the ORR."
