LDA to widen road linking Kanpur Road-Anant Nagar | Lucknow News
Lucknow: The Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has begun work on widening the road connecting Kanpur Road to Anant Nagar Yojna.The project, estimated at Rs 35 crore, will include road widening, construction of a divider, RCC drain and trench.LDA vice-chairperson Prathamesh Kumar inspected the project on Wednesday and reviewed the progress. He said the Nadarganj area, which has several industrial units, faces heavy traffic from trucks and trailers. This damages the roads and creates potholes, especially during the monsoon. To address this, RCC roads will be laid in stretches prone to waterlogging.A 24-metre-wide road will be developed from Kanpur Road under Nadarganj Industrial Area. In addition, a two km-long, 18-metre-wide road will be built and widened between Nadarganj turn and Amausi bridge and between Kisan Path and Samda police post. Officials have been directed to secure clearances from UPCDA and the Public Works Department before starting work.Alongside road construction, a 220 KVA substation will be set up in Sector-6 at a cost of Rs 9.89 crore. Chief engineer Navneet Sharma said tenders have been issued for the substation and for developing parks. He added that work to install streetlights on 12-metre-wide roads is also in progress.During the inspection, progress on the 18- and 24-metre-wide roads, sewerlines and drains in sectors four and five was found satisfactory. The VC instructed engineers to clear obstructions on under-construction roads without delay.The inspection was attended by zonal officer Vipin Kumar Shivhare, SDM Virag Karvariya, superintending engineer Sanjeev Kumar Gupta and executive engineer Manoj Sagar.
