Chief Minister Sadananda Gowda inaugurated the 2.2 km long widened and redeveloped road built in conformity with global standards and donated by NRI businessman and philanthropist Ronald Colaco in Bangalore on NH 7 near Bangalore International Airport.
The road is built at a cost of Rs 4.4 crore, apart from Ronald Colaco donating his own commercial land for the purpose with a market value of nearly Rs. 7.5 crores. It covers villages like Sadahalli, Navaratna Agrahara and Bovipallya Village and also connects the residential townships of Hollywood and Swiss Townships.
This road will benefit about 155 families of Navarathna and Bovipallya villages, about 50 existing and eventually 260 families of Hollywood Town and 60 and eventually 750 families of Swiss Township. The road built to conform to global standards includes a central median, storm water drain and provisions for conduits all along and across the road on important junctions with necessary chambers to avoid any digging of the road in future for any utility work, if needed. If the government agencies, BDA/Corporation also follow this practice with proper plan, taking into account future developments as and when the layouts are created, hundreds of crores of amount can be saved to the exchequer avoiding all sorts of road diggings and repairs each time a house or building comes up requiring utility connections (water, electricity, telephone, optic fiber or sewage).
