The 60m-wide ring road will connect major locations, including Nandankanan in the north, Pahala in the east, Dhauli in the south and Tomando in the west.
The Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has moved a step ahead to execute the plan. It has modified a comprehensive development plan and issued a notification for land to be acquired for the project.
Proposed 65km ring road would require 760 acres. Of that, about 690 acres is private land, while the rest belongs to the government. The development authority will spend nearly Rs 1,200 crore to execute the ambitious project.
