Civic body planning to resurface major roads
NASHIK: The NMC
is planning to resurface around 21 major roads, which have not been
resurfaced for the past 10-15 years, across the city. The proposal is to
be tabled on March 18 at the general body meeting (GBM) of the NMC for its approval.
The resurfacing is estimated to cost Rs 19 crore and is to be carried out through private contractors by inviting tenders. The civic administration will commence the tender process after an approval of the GBM.
The roads, which are to be resurfaced, include the road from Chamunda chowk to Gunjal Mala and Meenatai Thackeray stadium in Panchavati division at the cost of Rs 1.19 crore. The road from Dindori Road to Mhasrul on Mhasrul-Adgaon link road is to be resurfaced at the cost of Rs 1.45 crore.
The other roads are Makhmalabad Road from Indu Plaza to Dream Castle, Datta Nagar to Makhmalabad Road and Kumawat Nagar to Janata Raja colony, Aurangabad Naka to Hirawadi Road, service road from K K Wagh College of Engineering to Left Canal, Ahilyabai Holkar bridge to Raviwar Karanja in Panchavati division, Modak Point to Doodh Bazaar, Prasad Circle to Nirmala Convent school, road from Central Bus Stand to Canada Corner and the road from Govt Milk Dairy to Sambhaji chowk in Nashik West division.
A senior NMC official said, "The roads must be resurfaced once every four-five years. Most of the city roads have not been resurfaced for the past many years. Considering this, we have undertaken resurfacing of major roads on priority basis."
The total length of the city roads are around 2,809 kms, including 1,647 kms of tarring, 752 kms of khadi (rock) roads and 410 kms of concrete roads. Roads with total length of 75 kms were constructed in the city during the last three years. The roads in the city have not been resurfaced after the last Simhastha Kumbh.
