Asphalting begins at last, 23 ‘smart’ roads to be ready in 15 days

Twenty-three roads being developed under the Smart Cities Mission for the last two years are finally getting the finishing touches.

Workers hired by Bengaluru Smart City Ltd (BenSCL) are going into overdrive to asphalt these roads, which are expected to be ready by the end of this month. Among the roads currently being tarred are Jumma Masjid Road, Halasuru Road, Kamaraj Road, Bowring Hospital Road, Coffee Board Road, Race Course Road, St John’s Church Road, Infantry Road, Central Street and Raj Bhavan Road. Travelling on most of these roads had become dangerous because the main carriageway was dug up.
