The Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has initiated the development of 33 new cement roads across the city, with work orders already issued.
Construction is expected to commence in the upcoming week, leading to closures at key intersections and a potential surge in traffic congestion.
The roads that will be affected include the route from Dahibazar ROB to Automotive Square, Central Avenue (Hotel Amir) to Bhavsar Square to Nanga Putla, Dharampeth Zenda. Square to Adivasi Vikas Bhavan near RTO, Bajiprabhu (Ram Nagar) Square to Laxmi Bhawan Square to Traffic Children Park, Anand Talkies to Dhantoli Police Station (upto RUB), Khamla Road in New Sneh Nagar to Malviya Nagar Square Main Road and Pratap Nagar Square to Orange City Street Road (Somalwar High School Road) and more.
The NMC estimates the project’s completion within 1.5 to 2 years from the issuance of work orders. These vital roadways are pivotal to city circulation, and their obstruction may redirect traffic through residential areas, causing inconvenience to locals.
Apart from the main roads, the new construction will also affect the smaller roads leading to Wardha Road, like those from Khamla and Manish Nagar. This is part of phase 4 of the NMC project, approved by the central and state governments, to build concrete roads and footpaths. The project costs Rs 242 crore.
