The Coimbatore Corporation is aiming to complete 503.67 km of tar road restoration by the end of the year under a special Rs 2,000 million fund for FY26.

According to civic body data, 3,067 of the 3,456 planned road works—covering 443.63 km—have already been completed. Officials said the remaining stretches are expected to be finished by December 30.

In parallel, tenders have been floated for asphalt overlay works on 1,919 roads covering 25,093 sq metres, also estimated at Rs 2,000 million. These works are currently under execution.

Over the past three years, the Corporation has completed 5,215 road projects across schemes such as the Tamil Nadu Urban Road Infrastructure Programme, Nagarpura Salai Mempattu Thittam, State Finance Commission special fund, and its general fund. These works span 860.69 km at a total cost of Rs 4,150.6 million.

24×7 Drinking Water Supply
