Traffic jams at Engineering College Crossing and Atal Crossing (Ring Road) of the state capital will soon be a thing of the past. The remodelling and place-making at these two crossings will be carried out by the Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) at a cost of about ₹2.25 crore.
Instructions to issue the work tender were given by the LDA vice chairperson Prathamesh Kumar on Thursday.
Kumar said that a survey of the sites was conducted and suggestions were received for the re-modelling of the intersections. Based on this, the re-designing and road safety work will be done at the Engineering College intersection at a cost of about ₹1 crore 52 lakh and at the Atal intersection at a cost of around ₹75 lakh.
The work will include constructing roads and tabletops, improving the central island, and installing curb stones and footpaths. Furthermore, signage will be installed as part of the road-marking work for added security, an LDA release read.
