The Boulevard area will turn more pedestrian-friendly with the paver block roads being upgraded to bitumen surface. In the first stage of the improvement plan, the roads were laid with bituminous macadam. The work to layer the surfaces with semi-dense bituminous concrete had been postponed until the completion of the work on installing a modern water supply grid.
According to the office of the Executive Engineer, Public Works Division, PWD, the ‘bhoomi puja’ for the road restoration work within the Town Boulevard area will be held on Monday at the Junction of S.V. Patel Salai and Francis Martin Street.
