LUCKNOW, Sept. 4 -- Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) is set to widen the road connecting Kanpur Road to the Anant Nagar housing scheme at an estimated cost of Rs.35 crore. The project will also include construction of dividers, RCC drains and a trench to ease traffic movement and improve drainage, officials said in an official release on Wednesday. During an inspection on Wednesday, LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar directed officials concerned to begin the work quickly after securing no-objection certificates (NOCs) from the Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDC) and the public works department (PWD). Explaining the need for the project, Kumar said that the Naderganj UPSIDC area houses several industrial units and remains under heavy load of trucks and trailers. The constant movement damages the roads and creates potholes, which worsen due to waterlogging during rains, he said. Under the plan, a 24-metre-wide road will be built from Kanpur Road to Naderganj industrial area. Similarly, a two-kilometre-long road will be widened between Naderganj turn-Amausi bridge and Kisan Path-Samda police outpost, the release said....
