PWD to repair key roads in East, Central Delhi; tenders floated

In order to ensure smooth and safe roads for commuters ahead of the monsoon season, the Public Works Department (PWD) is going to repair and strengthen several key arterial roads in East and Central Delhi, officials said.

According to senior PWD officials, the roads are repaired every five years and several stretches in East Delhi are due for repair. The roads have developed potholes and cracks, so the stretches will be repaired with cold milling techniques to increase life. “To give extra life to the roads, PWD will lay a 2-3 inch bituminous layer and the potholes and patches will be repaired. With this, the commuters will experience a smooth ride without bumps,” an official said.
