Comprehensive Mobility Plan-2020: 192-km stretch of 11 roads to be widened
The Comprehensive Mobility Plan-2020 that recently received government approval has suggested widening of 11 roads with a total length of 192 kilometres.
The road widening, one of several proposals in the plan, envisages six-lane carriageways at a cost of Rs 19,200 crore.
Among the part of roads earmarked for widening are the Madiwala Police Station-Lalbagh Main Gate, MNK Park-NICE Corridor, Sankey Road-Hebbal Flyover and Cantonment Railway Station-Bagalur Main Road, which have dense tree cover on parts or the whole of the stretch.
The At-Grade widening also includes a 58-km stretch of the Outer Ring Road where the road width is uneven. Officials have proposed to make the corridor signal-free besides building service lanes for the full stretch, which is currently missing.
