Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has expedited its Green Corridor initiative, with a renewed push to construct a 24-metre-wide, four-lane road connecting Shaheed Path to Kisan Path. This new route will pass between the Gomti River and Ekana Stadium, aiming to ease intracity movement.
Soil levelling & dam construction to begin immediately
LDA Vice Chairman, Prathamesh Kumar, during a field inspection on Wednesday, directed immediate commencement of soil levelling for a dam on the right bank of the Gomti. The dam will support road construction under the corridor project. A task force combining members from engineering zone-1, the acquisition section, and the Project Implementation Unit (PIU) has been set up to remove construction bottlenecks.
Further, to ensure constant supervision, a dedicated site office will be established behind Ekana Cricket Stadium. The office will be staffed with representatives from key LDA departments for streamlined coordination and faster decision-making.
Kumar also assessed the parallel master plan’s 45-metre-wide road near Ekana and instructed teams to push for its swift completion. At CG City’s wetland zone, he reviewed work on a 6-metre-wide pathway being developed alongside a cofferdam. Officials were directed to increase manpower to speed up the pace of construction.
