THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a bid to expedite the makeover of roads in the capital city under the Smart road project of Smart City Mission, the Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB) has asked the contractors to revise the work schedule so as to meet the deadline of February 2023. If everything goes as per plan, the roads will sport cycle tracks, LED streetlamps and footpaths and will be devoid of overhead cables in less than two years.
Following criticism that the work was dragging there was a growing demand for a smooth coordination among the stakeholders. As part of the first step, the KRFB has initiated a system in place to monitor the project on a regular basis.
