April 14, 2006

HYDERABAD: Every time you travel on the proposed Outer Ring Road (ORR), you may have to shell out a fee for using the roadway. Toll gates will be in place on nearly 45 per cent of the 162 km ORR stretch.

Moreover, the ORR might be stretched to three phases instead of two decided earlier. The Hyderabad Urban Development Authority (Huda) is planning to split the existing phase-II works into two parts and the final portion of the road would be completed on the basis of build-operate-transfer (BoT) model, sources said.
