Rs 13k-cr outlay to decongest capital city’s roads | Bhubaneswar News
Bhubaneswar: CM Mohan Charan Majhi on Monday announced an allocation of Rs 13,000 crore in the budget to decongest roads in the capital city by constructing a ring road network.
“Recognising the rising traffic congestion in Bhubaneswar, we have conceptualised a comprehensive city road decongestion plan to ease traffic flow and improve mobility. As a part of the transformative re-development plan to modernise key infrastructure, an outer ring road in Bhubaneswar and other critical projects costing more than Rs 13,000 crore would be taken up,” said Majhi in his budget speech.
The new ring road plan is expected to reduce vehicular rush from Jayadev Vihar to Nandankanan, one of the busiest stretches, to a considerable extent. Commuters who shuttle daily between Cuttack and Bhubaneswar, will be able to take alternate roads to access different parts of the city, Khurda, Jatni and Puri as well. Heavy vehicles can also get seamless passage without interfering with regular traffic. Additionally, the ongoing Metro rail project will further ease traffic flow.
A parallel road is essential to decongest the main Bhubaneswar-Cuttack highway, which most people use to shuttle between the twin cities. Along the Jayadev Vihar-Patia-KIIT Square that caters to residents, there are several hotels, corporate offices, big residential complexes, Nandankanan zoo and KIIT deemed to be university.
The budget also makes provision to for a state-wide road network improvement plan that has been meticulously designed to strengthen connectivity and stimulate economic growth across the state. “These projects mark a significant step toward building a future-ready Odisha, ensuring seamless mobility, robust infrastructure and sustainable urban growth,” the CM said.
The budget highlighted that state highways would be converted into four-lane standard for better road connectivity. An allocation of Rs 6,502 crore was made for the road development programme. “Major district roads and other district roads would be developed to two-lane standard under the road development programme,” the CM said.
Under the programme, improvement of 3,000 km of roads and development of a Berhampur-Jeypore greenfield expressway were proposed. Further, there will be connectivity to ports, tourist destinations, railway stations and airports. “A ring road will be built in the industrial town of Barbil to spur economic growth and ease vehicular movement,” the budget document read.
