Odisha To Get 111 Km Ring Road Linking Rameshwar And Tangi

09 Mar 2026 CW Team

Odisha is planning to construct a 111 km six lane ring road linking Rameshwar and Tangi to reduce travel time for devotees visiting the Jagannath temple in Puri. The route is designed as an orbital corridor to ease congestion on existing approaches to the temple town during peak pilgrimage periods. The project is expected to be completed in 30 months and is intended to streamline movement for private vehicles, buses and pilgrims. Design provisions are expected to accommodate separate lanes for slow and fast moving traffic and to include pedestrian and emergency access where feasible.

Planners say the ring road will provide an alternative arterial link around the city, offering more direct access from coastal and inland routes to Puri. The six lane design anticipates growing passenger and vehicular volumes during festivals and holiday seasons. Ancillary works are likely to include junction upgrades and service roads to connect local communities, improving regional mobility.

Officials expect the ring road to cut travel times to the Jagannath temple and to reduce pressure on inner urban roads by diverting through traffic. The scheme is likely to support tourism and pilgrimage economies by improving predictability of journey times and enabling more reliable bus operations. Environmental and land acquisition clearances are anticipated to precede major construction activity.

Implementation will proceed through standard procurement and engineering stages, with detailed design and tendering to follow planning approvals. Authorities are expected to coordinate with district administrations to manage construction impacts and to sequence works to limit disruption to road users. Once completed, the ring road will form part of broader efforts to upgrade transport infrastructure in the region.
