We have requested the railway authorities to spare some land on both the sides if required to take up the RuBs,” said Sasidhar. He observed that a joint survey by R&B and Railways would end the stalemate on the crucial infrastructure projects of the city. The completion of RuBs would help the city administration to keep the traffic move ahead without any hindrance and allow it to go for the construction of massive flyover in the same junction.District collector held discussions with the divisional railway manager VG Bhooma and other senior officials to expedite the projects linked with the railway authorities. He asked the officials to expedite the feasibility survey to begin the works on RuBs at Nehru Nagar and Syamala Nagar.“We needed to conduct a comprehensive study on the availability of the land and requirement of land in the proposed locations to ready the designs of the road under bridges . We are ready to go ahead with the works soon after getting the feasibility report,” district collector Sasidhar told ‘TOI.’Interestingly, the district collector is seriously pushing the proposal of construction of road under bridges near Sankar Vilas centre flyover, the busiest street in the city.Although, the state government agreed to fund the construction of a new four-lane Road Over Bridge (ROB) by removing the existing flyover to meet the growing traffic needs, the district collector is of the view that the new bridge could be taken up only after making adequate alternative arrangements for free movement of the traffic.“Construction of two separate RuBs right under the existing flyover will be examined by the experts..
