The integrated Daya West Canal road  project would entail a 7.8-km structure from Palasuni to Garage Chhak  connecting NH-5 with  NH-203.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"story\">The work began today with chief minister  Naveen Patnaik laying foundation stone for the integrated project, which  would have roads of 30-feet width on both sides of the canal. The  60-feet wide canal would be squeezed to half its width. The roads on  both the sides of the water channel would also have barricade for safe  plying of vehicles.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"story\">&#8230; the  project would be completed within two years. However, keeping in view  the traffic problem on the Rasulgarh-Samantarapur stretch on NH-203, it  has been decided to speed up work for the road project so that it could  help in diverting traffic from NH-5 from Palasuni to Puri.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"story\">&#8230; The 7.8-km-long structure would include  strengthening of the existing road crossings so that people residing on  both sides of the Daya West Canal can easily cross the road. In case of  necessity, new road crossings will also be added,&rsquo;&rsquo; said Gantayat.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; To facilitate better traffic flow on the road, there would  be provisions like bus bay, autorickshaw stand and common parking lots.  There is enough land on both the sides of the canal. In future,  therefore, the roads on both sides can be expanded to a six-lane or  eight-lane structure as per the demand of the growing traffic. <\/p>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"story\">&#8230; In future, the road project with the water  body can also become a spot to promote water sports or fun activities  such as boating. &ldquo;We have also included possible space to include such  activities, in case the civic authorities or the tourism department  wishes to take it up,&rdquo; he added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p align=\"left\" class=\"story\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"515\" height=\"457\" src=\"http:\/\/www.orissalinks.com\/orissagrowth\/wp-content\/uploads\/image\/Screen shot 2011-05-22 at 4_33_44 PM.png\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<blockquote><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Following is from a report in Telegraph.
