Civic officials said the redevelopment would significantly improve vehicular movement and provide long-term relief to commuters and local residents.

To address chronic waterlogging, a new stormwater drain will be constructed along the stretch, while existing sewer lines will be replaced with higher-capacity pipelines to prevent future overflow issues.
