PRAYAGRAJ, Nov. 13 -- Two prominent roads in the Civil Lines area of Prayagraj- Mahatma Gandhi Marg (MG Marg) and Sardar Patel Marg (SP Marg) - are set for a major makeover, with the Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) planning to spend around Rs.9.11 crore on their renovation and beautification. The PDA has issued separate tenders for the projects, which aim to improve road surfaces, develop attractive and safer footpaths and introduce modern amenities. The work on both roads is scheduled to be completed within 90 days, said officials. PDA vice-chairman Rishiraj said the authority was planning to give the two important roads of Civil Lines a distinctive and attractive appearance. "These two roads will offer commuters a special experience. Preparations are underway to start the renovation work soon," he said. A project worth Rs.5.01 crore has been drawn up for SP Marg. The plan includes footpaths made of red sandstone and granite, 80-mm interlocking paver blocks, stamped concrete pathways, decorative cast-iron railings and steel bollards. A special 1,200-mm pillar bearing the PDA logo will also be installed. To improve visibility and road safety at night, solar LED road studs, reflective cat's eyes and road signages will be installed. The existing road surface will be removed and replaced with fresh bituminous and cement concrete layers. Underground pipelines and reinforced cement concrete (RCC) drain covers will also be provided to improve drainage. For MG Marg, the PDA has floated a tender worth around Rs.3.68 crore for renovation and beautification, besides a separate tender of Rs.41.53 lakh for lighting arrangements. The work will involve removing old footpaths, paver blocks and damaged structures before rebuilding them. Kerbstones, concrete pathways and plaster work are also part of the project....
