Corona pandemic hampers old By-pass road work

Aurangabad, April 30:

The works of the old By-pass road expansion, service roads, flyovers and concretization of roads have be hampered for last year due to the Corona crisis. Now, some works have been started and the flyover near Sangramnagar has started.

Four flyovers are proposed near Cambridge (Jalna Road), Deolai Chowk, Samgramnagar and MIT College area. The work of road expansion, service roads and concretization is under progress here. However, these works have been hampered as most of the workers have gone to their native places.

These works were started from April, 2020. However, it was hampered due to the lockdown. The work was resumed after the unlock process. The first phase of the work of concretization and expansion has almost completed. Meanwhile, the electricity poles and wires and MIDC water pipeline were proving hurdles and hence the issues were discussed with the concerned authorities.

Out of the works of the four flyovers, the police department presently granted permission to complete the Sangramnagar flyover and the work is going on. The Mahavitaran assured to remove the electricity wires and poles hampering the works here. Hence, preference is given to complete this work first, the sources said.
