The HMDA is set to complete the phase IIA of the Outer Ring Road in May next year, six months ahead of schedule, officials said. Work between Shamshabad and Pedda Amberpet is on in full swing. Officials who inspected the works on Saturday said 40 per cent work was complete.
“We asked the contractors to complete the work as early as possible,” said Mr A. Suresh Babu, deputy general manager of the Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited. “Public money will be saved if the work is completed ahead of schedule.”
The project has been taken up on build-operatetransfer mode and the estimated cost of the second phase is Rs 2,439 crore. The 62.3-km ORR PhaseIIA has been divided into five packages. Work is being taken up between Narsing and Patancheru. After completion of the stretch, the HMDA will shift its focus to the third phase.
HMDA officials said they had acquired land for the phase-IIB to avoid delay in taking up the works. “Phase-IIB between Patancheru and Pedda Amberpet will be taken up shortly with assistance of Rs.3,558 crore from the Japan International Cooperation Agency,” he said.
The 71.3-km phase-IIB is being divided into six packages. The last phase will cover Kandlakoi, Shamirpet and Ghatkesar. According to officials, the civic body will develop intelligent transport mechanism on ORR to ensure safe travel for the public. Toll fee will be collected on the basis of the construction cost.
