Jharkhand CM to inaugurate Western corridor

Jharkhand Chief Minister Raghuvar Das will inaugurate a 11-km long Western corridor, constructed here by Tata Steel, tomorrow.
The Western corridor has been constructed to provide a safe, smooth and uninterrupted connectivity to the Jamshedpur city with the existing network of primary highways (NH & SH), which also serve as a city bypass road, a Tata Steel press release today said.
The corridor, which will have a four lane divided main carriageway and 550 numbers of Highway Street Poles with LED lights, will decongest the heavily populated residential area in the western side of the town. It starts from T junction at river pump house (leading to Mango Bridge) and follows the marine drive peripheral route all along the river banks of both Kharkai and Subarnarekha rivers up-to Betia Park/ATBCL Bridge.

Over a period of time, the steel city of Jamshedpur has grown into urban agglomerate by virtue of its strong socio-economic base. It has registered rapid growth of population compounded with rapid development of trade & industries and it is poised to grow into a populous industrialised city necessitating development of suitable road infrastructure to support its growth, the release said.
Besides, Das will also lay the foundation stone of Elevated Road (HSM Flyover Project) from Tata Steel Works to Truck Parking area of Burmamines.
It will help ease congestion of traffic on Kalimati Road and all heavy vehicles from the Steel Plant will be using this flyover.
