Kurnool ORR Project Progresses to Ease Traffic
Officials in Kurnool are working on a big road project called the Outer Ring Road (ORR) to help with traffic problems.
The ORR will be about 17 kilometers long and 200 feet wide.
It will go from Lakshmipuram Bypass to Munagalapadu Road, helping vehicles avoid the busy city center.
Officials have already checked the route and will make a detailed plan in the next three months.
Once the government gives money for the project, they will start building.
This new road should make it easier for buses and big trucks to move around without causing traffic jams in the city.
The goal is to make driving in Kurnool much smoother.
Kurnool officials are planning an Outer Ring Road (ORR) to reduce traffic congestion.
The ORR will be 17 km long and 200 feet wide, connecting key routes in the city.
Officials have inspected the proposed alignment and will prepare a Detailed Project Report (DPR) in 3 months.
The ORR will divert heavy vehicles and buses away from the city center, reducing traffic at major junctions.
Construction will begin once the DPR is completed and government funds are sanctioned.
