Request a comprehensive baseline assessment of Dyment Road and adjacent routes, evaluating their current condition and capacity to handle heavy project traffic without compromising resident safety.
Strategic Rationale
The Proponent's submission notes anticipated impacts to road access, including Dyment Road and the deterioration of existing routes. As a primary access point for Melgund residents, the safety and integrity of this road are paramount. Because the community lacks local emergency services, any traffic-related incident on these roads faces significantly delayed response times from distant hubs. The Proponent should use this as an opportunity to commit to infrastructure upgrades that account for both project needs and resident safety. This will improve the success of the project by reducing the likelihood of accidents and ensuring the community remains connected and safe.
