There is a big good news for the people of Bangarmau tehsil area of Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh. The compulsion to travel on dilapidated and narrow roads for years is about to end. The government has given the green signal to a plan to more than double one of the most important roads in the area. A budget of Rs 21.30 crore has also been approved for this big project.
16 thousand vehicles run on 3 meter road
This is the story of that 10.260 km long road in Bangarmau area, which connects Hardoi Marg to Sandila Road via Lucknow-Agra Expressway. This road is a lifeline for dozens of villages, but its condition is very poor. The entire road is full of potholes and its width is only three meters. The surprising thing is that about 16,000 vehicles pass on this narrow road every day, due to which there is a danger of traffic jams and accidents every day.
How wide will the road be now?
In view of this big problem, now the government has decided to widen this road from 3 meters to 7 meters. This means that now this road will be more than twice as wide as before, which will provide relief from traffic jams and make the journey safe.
MLA’s efforts bear fruits, work will start in a month
Local MLA Shrikant Katiyar had written a letter to the Public Works Department (PWD) on 12 August 2024 this year for the widening of this road. After this, the department prepared the proposal and sent it to the government, which has now been approved.
The government has also released the first installment of Rs 6.39 crore out of the total budget of Rs 21.30 crore, so that the work can start as soon as possible. PWD Executive Engineer (XEN) Subodh Kumar said that the tender process has been started as soon as the budget is received. It is expected that work on the road will start within the next month.
The construction of this road will directly benefit the people of dozens of villages in the area as well as the people of Bangarmau city, and their years of wait will finally end.
