Hyderabad : Telangana Minister for Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MAUD) KT Rama Rao laid a foundation stone for the cycle track with solar roofing along the service road on Tuesday. It is expected to be finished by the summer of 2023. It is a 23 Km long cycle track on the Outer Ring Road between the main carriageway and service road from Nanakramguda to the TS State Police Academy (TSPA) and from narsingi to Kollur covered with solar panel rooftops along the stretch.
The project has been taken up by KVM Projects Limited (KMVPL) at an estimated cost of Rs crore. The proposed cycle track is the improved version of the South Korean model, which provides more facilities like lighting, protection from rain, parking, and other amenities such as food stalls. The track can be used 24×7 as lighting facilities are provided.
The stretch from Nanakramguda to the TSPA will be 8.5 km while it will be 14.50 km from Narsingi to Kollur. The effective length when covered as a loop will be 42 km. The proposed width of the cycle track is 4.5 meters with one-meter green space on either side. Crash barriers are also provided on the service road for safety.
