Corporation to take up restoration of roads
Sources in the civic body said that at the review meeting the Commissioner, T.K. Ponnusamy, conducted on Tuesday, he asked the engineers in-charge of implementing the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission to expedite the road restoration works.
He had asked the engineers to ensure that the roads were in place before monsoon.
As per the Commissioner's direction, the civic body will lay roads that were dug up under the first package.
The roads were in localities west of Mettupalayam Road and north of N.S.R. Road.
The roads to be re-laid: Kamaraj Street – 700 m, Narmada/Gokulam Street – 350 m, Nanjammal Street – 300 m, Collector Sivakumar Street – 500 m, Kavundappan Street – 500 m, Alagannan Street – 500 m, Chinthamani Street – 900 m and Manian Kaliappan Street – 600 m.
The sources said the civic body would take up the road restoration work by engaging contractors who did not implement the underground drainage project. It would finance the project with general funds.
The works are expected to be completed in a month, sources added.
