The road starting from Greenlands junction will connect to the Necklace road, covering a distance of up to 2.5 km. With a proposed width of 80 ft, it traverses through Kundanbagh and Ministers Quarters.
The Chief City Planner, B. Purushottama Reddy, said that the MCH Commissioner, Sanjay Jaju, has approved the road development plan and except for a few compound walls of Government buildings and a shed there was no need for demolitions as enough vacant space was available.
Senior officials including Roads & Building Secretary, Binoy Kumar and others had visited the area. The CCP said the department has been requested to give permission for the limited demolitions and estimates for the project too were being prepared. The slip road will join the existing road inside and it is being planned to go for a road under bridge at the railway line to connect to the Necklace road.
Subsequently, it can also be connected to the much-delayed Rs. 45 crore Fatehnagar slip road, which the MCH has been planning for a long time. As several properties are likely to get affected when the road construction is taken up, it has been put on the back burner for now.
