Among the primary features on the proposed concrete road include the routing of all the wires, cables and pipelines through an underground duct
HUBBALLI: As part of the efforts to enhance the visual appeal of some of the city’s thoroughfares, the authorities have decided to transform the street between Indi Pump Circle and Manjunath Nagar into a concrete road, along the lines of streets that have been refurbished under the TenderSURE project. Work on concretisation of the eight-kilometre road is expected to get under way soon.
MLA Arvind Bellad said that, although the road was slated to be developed using money allocated under the Central Road Fund (CRF), a contractor who was assigned the task had walked away from the project owing to delay in the disbursement of funds. “Those contracted under CRF are not being paid regularly,” Bellad rued.
