Silk city to get a new bypass road

BERHAMPUR: The State Government has accorded approval for construction of a bypass road from Gokarneswar temple to Radio station in the city.

It is noteworthy that due to high vehicular traffic on this 3 km road, accidents have become regular.

According to Berhampur Development Authority sources, to minimise the traffic problems from new bus stand to Gate bazaar chowk in the city, BDA administration in 2008 submitted a proposal to the State government for laying the bypass road. 

Almost two years have passed since then, but the bypass project is yet to take shape. Now as per BDA sources the work would begin in a week.
