The construction of the drain has been completed and the road will be made by filling it. The rest of the work should be planned in such a way that this road is completed by June 15, informed Commissioner Bangar.

Aplab Chowk work in progress

The concreting work of Aplab Chowk, an important intersection on LBS Road, is also in progress. As the work in the central area is being completed, the traffic will not be disturbed. At the same time, arrangements should be made so that most of the road traffic will remain suitable even while working on the rest of the road, said Bangar. At the same time, the commissioner also inspected the proposed roof and new lanes at the toll plaza at Modella Mill Nayak.

The commissioner had given instructions during the previous inspection tour about road repair at Nitin Company Junction. Thus, the main transport route has been completed. But the footpath remains, as well as the side strip and some patches. He also gave instructions that the work should be completed and the road dividers should be repaired.

Roads under construction should be made suitable for traffic

Apart from 282 roads in the city, the works of development plan roads are also going on. There are some problems of land acquisition and encroachments while doing these works. Efforts are being made to remove them before monsoon. If there is a delay in opening the road, then the road should be made suitable for traffic before the monsoons, the Commissioner instructed the construction department.

Partial excavations and mounds of soil are not desirable

Also, the parts of sewerage channels and water channels where work is going on should be made suitable for traffic before monsoon. Commissioner also said that the picture should not be seen in the city where the roads are dug and soil piles are seen. The commissioner said there should be no compromise on directional boards, proper barricading, boards indicating alternative routes, presence of traffic wardens at the places where roadworks are going on.
