ring road project
The state's urban development department has approved the development plan and development control regulations (DCR) of metro region covering 3,567 sq.km area in 721 villages of nine divisions recently. Outer ring road with a total length of 119km is being developed by the Central and state governments as bypass to the city as works on 61 km stretch are going on at an investment worth Rs 2,500 crore. Prior to this, inner ring road was developed as bypass to the city so heavy vehicles could pass without entering the city and the ORR will cater to the highway traffic. NMRDA official said 250 metres on either side of ORR has good potential for development of residential areas and the nodal agency will get good revenue due to premium and that can be utilized for development of metro region.
