The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) plans to take up two road projects with the financial assistance of Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
 
 The plan, which involves expansion of two radial roads for better connectivity to the Outer Ring Road (ORR), will be executed in a month once the authority receives sanctions from the state government.
 
 The two radial roads are Shaikpet to Kokapet (ORR) and Radhika Theatre to Yadgarpally ORR road via Thumkunta.
 
 Apart from these two, three other roads have already been taken up. HMDA had identified 33 radial roads for smooth flow of traffic from the inner ring road to ORR. These roads were identified based on traffic flow studies, which recommended that these stretches need to be widened and developed to ensure a hassle-free travel to reach ORR.
 
 While seven radial roads were completed by the HMDA, another five would be taken up in the next few months. The roads and buildings (R&B) department and the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) have also taken up expansion of their respective roads.
