Arunachal Pradesh capital is set to get cement concrete road soon in all the sectors as construction work is going on in full swing under supervision of PWD Minister Gojen Gadi.
Gadi leading a high level official delegation yesterday inspected the under construction cement concrete road (CCR) from Eastern Side School to Ministers' bungalow here.
"The progress of sector roads is satisfactory," he said here today.
The CCR road, whose 10 cm concrete layer was already laid to be followed by 20 cm carpeting, would last for 30 years unlike the traditional blacktopped road which is subjected to fast deterioration and requires continuous maintenance, PWD superintendent engineer M Kamchi informed.
In all 22 km CCR roads will be built throughout the Capital Complex while the ongoing ESS road would serve as a diversion to ease traffic congestion on the NH 52 A, Kamchi added.
The entire team also inspected the Secretariat Complex whose works were in advance stage.
The engineers assured the minister that Block-II will be ready by February 20 next.
Ceiling were tell-tall proofs of the poor quality of work.
The PWD minister while having a threadbare discussion with the engineers in presence of both parliamentary secretaries and the PWD commissioner informed that Chief Minister Nabam Tuki has desired that the PWD should take up the work on war footing in two shifts with a target to complete the work in a year.
Senior engineers, particularly project engineer AE Nabam Takar, assured that the faults would be rectified and the work would gain momentum soon to complete the complex at the earliest.
The minister during the day reviewed the progress of all centrally sponsored schemes under SPA, NLCPR, NEC, CRF and RIDF and directed that the tender process for all roads approved be completed within 15 days to start work, while the utilization certificates of all works executed be submitted to the Union Ministries of Road, Transport & Highway and DoNER through state's planning sectary.
He also reviewed the progress of Itanagar to Banderdewa four-lane highway besides the roads of Capital Complex and all district HQs.
