LUCKNOW: Divisional commissioner of Lucknow Sanjeev Saran held a meeting with Lucknow Development Authority vice chairman Asthabhuja Tewari and municipal commissioner RK Singh on Saturday to review the city's mobility plan. Saran instructed UP State Bridge Corporation to prepare proposals to make additional flyovers in the city under Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) scheme.The meeting was held to discuss better transport options according to the needs of growing population of the city. Officials were happy with the proposal of constructing additional flyovers as it is an urgent need considering frequent traffic jams at major roundabouts and roads of the city. The projects will fetch 50% funds under the national scheme of JNNURM while the rest would be borne by the state.The state government is also promoting construction of many flyovers in the city. While it has already funded ROBs (railway over bridges) at Daliganj, Arjunganj, Loretto and Puraniya, it has proposed two more ROBs at Alamnagar and Malhaur. Daliganj ROB has already been completed in a record time of 9 months by the bridge corporation. Construction of other ROBs is in full swing.To make the transport system smooth, Urban Mass Transit Corporation has prepared comprehensive mobility plan for the city. |
