Shiradi Ghat Road to be open for traffic by June : MP NalinSpeaking to reporters here, Nalin  said that with a view   to facilitate movement of traffic after the closure of Shiradi Ghat road for repair, the authorities had taken steps to widen the Charmady Road by  levelling the water flowing side drains.

Now with monsoons nearing, the soil has to be cleared from the drains. The NH officials have been instructed to take up the works, the MP said.

 The MP further informed that the Union Government has released Rs 7 cores for the BC Road Maani road maintenance on NH 75 to ensure that the road was in better condition until the BC Road-Hassan road up gradation works are taken up.

On the ongoing Shiradi Ghat road repair works, he said the 10 km stretch of concretisation has been completed in the first phase, while works on the remaining 3 km stretch of road would be complete by this month end. The road will be open for traffic by June. A third party inspection of the quality of works has also been undertaken and the expert team has observed that the road works are up to the mark, Nalin said.

The second phase works involve concretisation of 13 kms stretch and bitumenisation of another stretch measuring 13 kms, Nalin Kumar Kateel said adding the tender process has been finalised and the works are expected to commence after the monsoons.

However, this would not impede vehicular movement as the 13 km stretch of road which was in bad shape has been repaired and concretised, he said.
