Government approves 182-km
Southern stretch of Hyderabad’s Regional Ring Road project, aiming to ease
traffic and promote urban centres
The Union Government has given
the go-ahead for the 182-km Southern stretch of the ambitious Regional Ring
Road (RRR) project in Hyderabad. The 340-km RRR project, which encircles the
State capital, is aimed at decongesting the traffic in the city and promoting
urban satellite centres along the road.
The Northern part of the 340-km
project had already been notified as a national highway.
The State and
Central governments are also planning to build a railway line along the RRR to
promote urban connectivity.
Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy met Gadkari in Delhi on
Tuesday and requested him to clear the hurdles so that the works on the
Southern corridor can be taken up.
Responding to his appeal, Gadkari said the Union government would
bear the cost of relocation of utilities along the RRR project areas.
The Chief Minister and the Union Minister discussed the disputes
between the Centre-State governments regarding the removal of utilities
(electricity poles, buildings etc.) along the project area. The cost of
relocating the utilities was a bone of contention.
The Union
Minister asked the Chief Minister to speed up the land acquisition and
procedural processes related to the construction of the RRR.
The Chief Minister also requested Gadkari to upgrade the
Hyderabad-Vijayawada National Highway as a six-lane road and
Hyderabad-Kalwakurthy road a four-lane highway.
