ODISHA GOVERNMENT FINALISES ALIGNMENT FOR 129 KM OUTER RING ROAD TO CREATE A WIDER CONNECTIVITY NETWORK AROUND BHUBANESWAR-CUTTACK REGION
Traffic congestion around the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack urban region may soon see a major solution as the Odisha government plans a 129 km Outer Ring Road to improve connectivity and ease pressure on existing city roads.
The proposed road will be integrated with the Capital Region Ring Road, adding another 90 km to create a wider transport network around the region.
The Outer Ring Road will connect key areas including Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, Pipili, Khordha Municipality and Choudwar Municipality. One end of the corridor is planned near Baghamari, while the other will extend beyond Choudwar Municipality.
The project aims to divert through-traffic away from congested urban stretches and provide smoother movement across the Capital Region.
The government has also planned an elevated road from Kalinga Studio Square to Nuagaon and a road connecting Raghunathpur to Trisulia.
The foundation stone for these projects is expected to be laid before the first week of October, marking a major step towards strengthening Odisha’s transport infrastructure.
