Minister emphasizes quality, safety, and drainage improvements to ease commuter experience on busy city roads.
On Saturday, Deputy Chief Minister D. K. Shivakumar conducted an on-site inspection of the road resurfacing works along Magadi Road, specifically near the Sumanahalli Flyover. The visit aimed to review the progress of the project and ensure that construction meets quality standards while minimizing inconvenience to commuters.
During the inspection, Minister Shivakumar evaluated the asphalting and resurfacing work, which involves laying a durable layer of asphalt to enhance road safety and longevity. Officials accompanying him briefed him on the ongoing project timelines, explaining that the work was being carried out in phases to avoid major traffic disruptions.
The DCM instructed the officials to prioritize smooth drainage solutions along the resurfaced stretch to prevent waterlogging during monsoon rains. He emphasized the importance of quality workmanship, timely completion, and strict adherence to safety protocols, ensuring that residents and daily commuters experience minimal disruption.
Local residents and motorists welcomed the inspection, noting that the resurfacing work would significantly improve traffic flow and reduce vehicle wear and tear on one of the city’s busiest stretches. Officials assured the public that additional monitoring and periodic assessments would continue until the project’s completion. The Deputy Chief Minister’s visit underscores the government’s commitment to upgrading Bengaluru’s urban infrastructure, ensuring safer and more efficient roads for the rapidly growing city. Authorities also highlighted plans for similar improvements in other high-traffic areas as part of a broader effort to enhance road safety and commuter convenience across Bengaluru.
