The Salem City Municipal Corporation has intensified road improvement and maintenance works across several residential and commercial areas to enhance urban mobility and public convenience. The initiative includes resurfacing damaged roads, repairing potholes, improving stormwater drainage connectivity, and strengthening internal streets that experience heavy traffic.
Engineering teams have been instructed to complete ongoing works within the scheduled timeline while ensuring minimal disruption to commuters. The Corporation has prioritised roads connecting schools, hospitals, markets, and major residential neighbourhoods. Local residents have welcomed the initiative, noting that improved road conditions will enhance safety and reduce vehicle maintenance costs.
Officials stated that road restoration is part of the city’s broader urban infrastructure development programme aimed at improving transportation efficiency and supporting Salem’s growing population. Regular inspections are being conducted to monitor work quality and ensure compliance with engineering standards.
