NAGPUR: After a wait of over three years, Wardha Road will be linked to Amravati Road via the Outer Ring Road (ORR). The railway over bridge near Gavsi Manapur and Jamtha will be thrown open to traffic today.This 22km stretch of ORR starts from Gavsi Manapur on Wardha Road and connects Gondkhairi on Amravati Road via Hingna. TOI has been continuously highlighting the callous attitude of authorities, which delayed the opening by three years.Now it will be possible for a person travelling from Butibori to go towards Kondhali without entering the city. Hingna MIDC will also have direct connectivity with Wardha Road. Moreover, the east-west heavy and long distance traffic can also bypass the city. If traffic authorities enforce the norms, then trucks plying on Mumbai-Kolkata route need not enter the city at all. These trucks will take the ORR from Gondkhairi, cross Wardha Road and then touch Bhandara Road beyond Pardi. The north-south corridor is already available as trucks take the Kamptee-Kanhan bypass and then Kamptee Road-Wardha Road link to bypass the city.

The Gondkhairi-Jamtha stretch of ORR is toll free. Vehicles will have to pay toll once they enter the Jamtha-Kamptee Road stretch. The former stretch has been constructed by public works department (PWD) and will be maintained by Oriental Nagpur Bypass Construction Pvt Ltd ( ONBCL).

Work on the RoB had begun on January 20, 2009, and was to be completed by July 2010. However, due to various reasons, including difficulty in getting various permissions from railways, it was delayed by over three years. Kamptee-Kanhan bypass and the 21km ORR stretch from Bhandara Road to Wardha Road was thrown open to traffic in July 2012.

Ironically, the 17km ORR stretch from Gondkhairi to west side of Nagpur-Wardha railway line was completed in 2009, right on time. However, another 5km needed to be constructed to reach Wardha Road.

The approach roads to the RoB were completed but only the bridge was held up. The ramps were finished in January this year. The span over the railway line was to be done by Central Railways and it took its own time. The RoB would have been ready a month earlier had the PWD contractor started tarring on time.
