Delhi roads reconstruction: The old roads in Delhi will once again be seen to be shocking. Rekha Gupta government of the national capital has prepared a plan for this. To promote infrastructure, the Delhi government has planned Rs 950 crore for reconstruction of 415 km old roads across the city.
According to the report of the news agency ANI, a proposal in this regard has been sent to the Central Government under the Central Road Fund (CRF), which aims to give a new look to major roads including Outer Ring Road, Mathura Road, Najafgarh Road and Vikas Marg. So far, 150 km of roads have been repaired, while work is going on on 100 km.
Proposal sent to Center for financial assistance
A top government source said, “The proposal has been sent to the Center demanding financial assistance to speed up the project. The target is to repair 500 km of roads in the state for the upcoming financial year. Along with repairing roads, pavements and drains, re-construction will also be done in some places.
Project expected to be completed by 2026
Construction work will be done through e-tendering to complete the project by 2026. The Delhi government hopes that this time the Center will get financial assistance, which will speed up the work. The PWD department has also launched a campaign to fill the pits on the roads. On June 23, the government launched this campaign, during which 3,400 pits were filled in a single day.
Previous government built inferior quality roads- Pravesh Verma
PWD Minister Pravesh Verma in Rekha Gupta government said, “Our commitment is to give good roads to the people of Delhi. Road construction is in progress. We have built 150 km of roads and have set a target of 500 kilometers this year. The previous government had built poor quality roads. We will refer to all the roads.” Common people can also lodge roads related to road through PWD’s website or mobile app.
