100-110 km Peripheral Ring Road Proposal for New Urban Dev Minister

06 Jun 2023 CW Team

It is planned that the Peripheral Ring Road will encircle the existing 42.5-km Outer Ring Road, extending up to 100 or 110 kilometres. The project was initially approved by the Urban Development Department in December of the previous year. However, due to the elections and the subsequent implementation of the Model Code of Conduct, the process was delayed. With the new government now in place, it is expected that progress will be made in the right direction.

In a letter dated October 28, 2022, the MUDA Commissioner requested the approval of the Urban Development Department to hire a Project Consultant. The letter emphasised the need for the development of a Peripheral Ring Road in Mysuru City due to the presence of commercial clusters and the growth of industrial activities. The Peripheral Ring Road will be a 45-metre-wide road and will require the acquisition of a total area of 824 acres. Additionally, a total area of 27,500 acres will be acquired for the Town Planning Scheme, with 750 metres on each side of the Peripheral Ring Road. The road will consist of six main lanes and four lanes for the service road.

The estimated cost of the project is Rs 19.71 billion, which includes Rs 12.36 billion for land acquisition and Rs 7.35 billion for road construction. The primary objective is to reduce traffic congestion on the existing 42.5 km long six-lane Outer Ring Road, which connects Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway, KRS Road, Hunsur Highway, Bogadi Road, H D Kote Road, Nanjangud Road, T Narasipur Road, Bannur Road, and Mahadevapura Road.

A request has been made to B T Sridhar, the Project Director of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), to provide an outline of the proposed road and its technical details. This request was made considering Sridhar's experience in the construction of the Expressway from Mysuru to Bengaluru. Sridhar has agreed to contribute valuable input for the project.
