The ongoing work on the outer ring road (ORR) of Mysore will be completed by March 2015.
The work taken up under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Reconstruction Mission (JNNURM), is being executed by the Mysore Urban Development Authority (MUDA). Its Commissioner S Palaiah inspected the progress of the work last week.
Except for a small missing link of about 900 metres that passes through the Agricultural Produce Marketing Committee (APMC) at Bandipalya in the city, the rest of the work will be completed as schedule. The road passes through the APMC and it had agreed to give the required eight acres for the ring road in exchange for alternate land.
Work on this portion too will be completed within six months after the land transfer and tender process, according to him.
Under the revised scheme of Rs 239.51 crore, sanction has been received for expanding the ORR to a six-lane covering the present 32.20 km and the missing stretch from the Mysore-Bannur to Mysore-Nanjangud road, in all 41.55 km. Work on the missing link has already been entrusted to contractors.
The total width of the ORR will be 45 metres. While the main ORR will be about 11 metres wide on either side, the service road will be of a width of 5.5 metre on either side. It will also have a three-metre median and lighting at every 30 metres.
