UGD work on Ayyasamy Road to be completed soon: Mayor
The underground drainage work currently being carried
out on Ayyasamy Road would be completed soon and would be opened for
traffic by this month end, Mayor S. Soundappan said here on Monday.
After
inspecting the work carried out in the stretch in ward 28 at Sevvapet,
he said that after laying of pipelines, work orders would be issued for
tar topping the road and commercial vehicles can ply on the road.
He
said that of the total 525 metre road length UGD pipelines were laid
for 200 metres and the remaining 325 metres would be completed soon.
Only after completing the work, drinking water pipelines could be laid
in the stretch, he added.
Mr. Soundappan said that
the project was planned to be completed in September-end, but with
representations from the public and lorry associations, the culverts
have been constructed.
“All the works would be completed and will be thrown open for the public soon”, he added.
Due
to the delay in completion of the road work, the newly constructed
maternity centre at a cost of Rs. 30 lakh was yet to be opened near the
road.
Corporation Commissioner M. Ashokan, Executive
Engineers G. Kamaraj, S. Venkatesan, A. Ashokan and others were present
during the inspection.
