Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi has greenlit a transformative Planned Route Corridor to mastermind traffic control across the state. Amid surging congestion from economic leaps, this strategic network vows to deliver seamless connectivity and slash commute frustrations.
In detailed consultations, Majhi outlined the corridor’s architecture: multi-tiered pathways with tech-infused controls, from variable message signs to vehicle-to-infrastructure communication. Trucks get dedicated freight corridors, easing city pressures, while integrated transit hubs link buses and metros.
Pilots in Puri, Sambalpur, and Berhampur will test viability before statewide scaling. Benefits extend to logistics firms expecting cost savings and to citizens gaining hours daily. Environmental safeguards, including noise barriers and tree-lined medians, underscore sustainability.
Secured through innovative financing and expert consultations, the plan reflects Majhi’s proactive governance. As groundwork begins, Odisha braces for a new mobility era—one where roads serve as engines of progress, not barriers to it.
