INDORE: Drive from Dhar Road to Airport Road is going to take less time and congestion-free in a couple of years from now. For an elevated corridor of two-km-long stretch,Indore Development Authority (IDA), IDA board on Thursday appointed a Mumbai-based company to carry out feasibility survey.

IDA CEO Deepak Singh said feasibility survey would be completed in a few months on the basis of which detailed project report (DPR) would be prepared before starting the work on project. With the construction of elevation corridor traffic burden in areas like Chandan Nagar, Gangwal Bus Stand area, Kalani Nagar and Bada Ganpati is expected to reduce and reaching airport will be more comfortable. Currently, residents of Vijay Nagar and Palasia areas have to navigate through narrow lanes of Jawahar Marg and Bada Ganpati areas. The corridor is expected to improve connectivity of airport with other parts of the city.

In another decision, IDA has decided to send a fresh proposal for construction of 2.5 km-long Major Road (MR) 5 to the state government. The road under Master Plan 2021 will be 45 metre wide and starting from Laxmibai Statue tri-section and passing through Wire Square, Itwariya Haat, Swaria Nagar, Suvidhi Nagar and ends at Super Corridor near Bohara Colony crossing.

The board has decided to appoint Gurgaon-based company as transaction advisor for construction of stadium and swimming pool at scheme number 94 on the Ring Road and proposed water park-cum-amusement park at Meghdoot Garden.

The IDA has given its consent for construction of a planetarium at regional park and for this it will donate Rs 1 crore to the IMC.
