Coimbatore MP inspects road projects, government sanctions development, allocates funds for road widening in Coimbatore.
Coimbatore MP Ganapathi P. Rajkumar held a meeting and inspected some of the road projects in Coimbatore on Tuesday.
An official press release said that the government had sanctioned development of the road from Mor Market in Ganapathy to Prozone Mall, as it was an accident zone and faced frequent traffic snarls. The Highways Department will take up works to widen the road from Textool bridge to the Mall. The MP, along with Coimbatore district Collector Kranthi Kumar Pati, and Coimbatore Corporation Commissioner Sivaguru Prabakaran inspected some of these areas on Tuesday.
Further, the Central government has allocated ₹639.18 crore to acquire land and widen the Sathyamangalam road into a four and six lane road from Kurumbapalayam to Karnataka border. Land acquisition cells will be set up and the works expedited to acquire 291.4 hectares in 31 villages.
The Highways Department is also preparing a detailed project report for widening of the Neelambur bypass. These projects were discussed at the meeting, the release said.
