A senior GMDA official said that the length of service road network is around 125-km.The authority will also remove bottlenecks from unconstructed roads.

“Efforts will be made to have uniform road quality, ensuring seamless movement of vehicles. The expansion of road capacity will reduce traffic congestion,” the official said.

To prevent waterlogging on roads, the authority is planning to make every drain functional. Officials added that footpaths will also be repaired and pedestrian safety will be the priority under the plan.

“The plan for integrated development of service roads is being finalised. Rendering will be completed and work will be allotted by March next year,” said a GMDA official.
