Meanwhile, the long-awaited revamp of MG Road, originally planned for completion in December 2023, has
been delayed yet again. The ₹11.3 crore project includes enhancements such as wider pedestrian pathways,
dedicated cycle tracks, green belts, and modernized bus stops. Despite its potential to significantly improve
the commute experience, construction has been marred by contractor issues, funding bottlenecks, and
pollution-related bans on construction activities. Currently, only 75% of the project is complete, with a revised deadline set for March 2025. Residents have voiced concerns about prolonged disruptions, traffic jams, and increased dust pollution.
