A detailed project report for laying a new road from atop the Tiruttani hill shrine of Lord Subramaniaswamy to the Chittoor Road is expected to be ready in a couple of weeks.
Sources in the Highways Department, which will form the 1.95-km long and 3.75 m wide ghat road on a deposit basis, said that the work was likely to commence before this year-end.
Minister for Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments (HR&CE) P. K. Sekarbabu said that land belonging to the Revenue department, Forest department and town planning department and a private party are needed for the project that will allow vehicles from the Chittoor side to get into the hill without entering the town, which gets easily crowded.
