KTR inaugurates three link roads

HYDERABAD: To reduce traffic snarls in the city, the State government has planned to develop 137 link/slip roads across the city covering a distance of 126 km. Works on 37 link roads covering 44.65 km have begun, and a few of them have been opened, Municipal Administration and Urban Development Minister KT Rama Rao said on Monday.

These 37 roads are part of the first phase, for which the State government has sanctioned Rs313.65 crore. The purpose of the roads is to reduce traffic congestion and environmental pollution. Details of all the roads would be placed in the public domain, and if required, more roads would be added to the proposed list. The State government would urge people to give their suggestions and identify more link roads and missing links.
