Chief Minister D V Sadananda Gowda on Tuesday, said the long-delayed Intermediate Ring Road (IRR) project planned in the Bangalore Metropolitan Area will be taken up under the public-private partnership (PPP) model.
The project, which aims to connect some of the emerging towns like Devanahalli, Ramanagar and Dobbespet, requires acquisition of large chunks of private land.
This, in turn, calls for huge amount of investment.
Hence, the Bangalore Metropolitan Region Development Authority (BMRDA) has been finding it difficult to implement the project.
The government, therefore, wants to throw the project open for private companies, he said in reply to a question by Ramalinga Reddy of the Congress in the Legislative Assembly. The project is planned to be implemented in four components: 89-km road between Dobbespet and Devanahalli at an estimated cost of Rs 1,110 crore, 80-km road between Devanahalli and Attibele at an estimated cost of Rs 1,000 crore, 128-km road between Attibele and Ramanagar at an estimated cost of Rs 1,600 crore and 70-km road between Ramanagar and Dobbespet at an estimated cost of Rs 1,078 crore, the Chief Minister said.
The government has so far not initiated the process of land acquisition for the project, he added.
