HUBLI: Survey for the construction of a ring road connecting NH 4, NH 218 at Gabbur Cross will start soon, said MP Prahlad Joshi.
Joshi said that the survey project had already received technical approval from the Union Ministry of Surface Transport in order to decongest the traffic in Hubli city. The project was sanctioned after fighting for the issue both in the House and Ministry level meetings over the last two years.
The Ministry had given its nod for undertaking the survey for the ring road, overpass, underpass and alignment of roads. In this regard, the Ministry released Rs 18 crore for entrusting the survey to a private firm.
In the meantime, the National Highway Authority of India, Hubli division has submitted a proposal to the Union government seeking permission for road alignment on the Hubli bypass.
Joshi assured of taking up the proposal with Union Minister of State for Surface Transport K H Muniyappa to sanction it at the earliest.
