"Arrangements have been made to make these joints long lasting and to withstand heavy traffic loads. This work will also be completed soon," the Administrator said.
He said that the lights installed on Tipu Sultan Bridge on Shaheed Millat Road were bad due to ABC cables and other reasons which are being repaired by replacing the cables.
Ahmed said that the electrical team of the Works department has done this work and as a result the lighting situation on Tipu Sultan Bridge has improved considerably.
Administrator said that before constructing new roads in the city, it is necessary to improve the existing roads and arteries.
"A strategy is being adopted to solve the problems facing by the citizens as priority is given to those projects which will facilitate as many people as possible," he added. He said that the field team of the Works Department prepares a priority list of works to be carried out by surveying different areas, according to which the maintenance, repair and MoF roads, bridges and street lights are carried out with the help of machinery, vehicles and manpower of KMC.
"This process will continue without any break and all available resources of KMC are being utilized for it," Ahmed said.
