Restoration Project: The Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) has decided to restore the Road Over Bridge (RoB) in RK Puram, Secunderabad.
- Traffic Impact: The RoB connects Sainikpuri, AS Rao Nagar, and ECIL, making it a vital route for commuters.
- Reasons for Restoration: Frequent complaints from motorists about damage to expansion joints and excessive vibrations during heavy traffic prompted the restoration.
- Estimated Cost: The rehabilitation and restoration measures are estimated to cost around Rs 4.60 crore.
- Structural Issues: A study by a private agency revealed severe corrosion of main rebars in the girders, diaphragms, and deck slab.
- Water Leakage: During the monsoon season, water leakage from diaphragms and girders leads to rusting and weakens the structure.
- Expansion Joint Issues: Clogged and malfunctioning expansion joints contribute to the overall structural deterioration.
The GHMC’s decision to restore the RK Puram RoB is a crucial step in addressing the infrastructure concerns of the area and ensuring the safety of commuters.
