Delhi PWD Minister Atishi has given the nod to a vital road strengthening project in East Delhi, targeting three key thoroughfares. These include road number 109, stretching from Sapera Basti to Khoda Chowk, Dallupura Road from Timber Market to Noida Border, and Buddha Singh Marg from Manav Ashray Kat to Dallupura T-Point, all slated for a makeover.
Expressing her enthusiasm, Atishi emphasized that the project will not only improve the roads of East Delhi but also ensure their longevity. Moreover, the initiative will contribute to enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the area, she added.
Atishi said that the Delhi government is working in a phased manner to strengthen the roads of Delhi. Given that the construction of these roads took place quite some time ago, there is a current need for their maintenance.
“The riding quality of the roads has been affected due to the cutting of cable and pipe laying by civic agencies. Therefore, maintenance and beautification work is now commencing here. PWD officials are instructed to complete the work within a specified timeframe and strictly adhere to all safety guidelines to avoid any inconvenience to travellers,” she said.
In addition to focusing on the road’s strength in the strengthening project, ‘road marking’ for good quality, adhering to all standards, will also be carried out on these roads, the statement said.
Under the project, the PWD will undertake the strengthening of these road stretches, painting work for lane marking, parapet walls/railings, etc., ensuring compliance with standards, it added.
