GHMC to take up road repair works in Hyderabad

All major roads and thoroughfares in the city are in for a revamp as Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to repair and re-carpet roads at a cost of Rs 454 crore. All these works are to be completed by March 31.

To begin with, works will commence on major roads and this will be followed by internal and arterial stretches. Though the municipal corporation wants to complete the works at the earliest, the traffic police permitted contractors to take up the works only during late hours.

In view of resulting traffic inconvenience, these works will be



taken up between 12 am and 5 am. GHMC prepared an action plan keeping this in mind and to ensure a hassle-free journey for motorists.

Accordingly, it was decided that road maintenance will be taken up duly prioritising the bad roads in a methodical way. The works are to be executed on damaged roads, followed by high-density traffic roads and preventive maintenance roads.

The municipal corporations appealed to the citizens to cooperate with officials during road laying works as some traffic restrictions could be imposed for taking up the work.
