The Ashi Nagar zone leads with 22 roads covering 16.49 km, followed by Dharampeth with 15.36 km and Nehru Nagar with 12.48 km. Dharampeth’s inclusion was routed through the Chief Minister’s Office. Hanuman Nagar’s 7.94 km allocation had the backing of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, while Gandhibagh’s 3.25 km plan was supported by MLA Narendra Borkar and local corporators.

Other allocations include 11.90 km in Mangalwari, 13.35 km in Lakadganj, 7.65 km in Laxminagar, and 6.80 km in Dhantoli. Officials emphasised that the project reflects a forward-looking approach to urban planning, combining infrastructure durability with climate-resilient measures.
