An alternative technology that will enable laying of concrete roads without disrupting traffic is to be adopted by the The Chennai Corporation. The Corporation Council on October 31 approved the use of slip form/fixed form concrete pavers in re-laying some roads to expedite the work without disrupting traffic in the area.
The civic body also approved Rs 9.9 crore for the integrated development of Harrington Road, which is one of the roads used by thousands of vehicles travelling to the western suburbs from the city every day. Other works to be taken up on the road include laying of granite footpaths, construction of stormwater drain and granite road median, and development of greenery and ducts for electrical cables and utilities.
Depending on the success of the project, works on more roads are likely to be taken up.
