The Surat Municipal Corporation (SMC) is developing a 200-foot-wide concrete road leading to Dumas at an estimated cost of ₹42 crore to improve connectivity to the popular coastal destination. The road will feature modern amenities, including a dedicated cycle track, pedestrian walkways, landscaped gardens and green spaces. The project is expected to be opened to the public soon.
Dumas remains one of the preferred weekend getaways and picnic spots for Surat residents, drawing large numbers of visitors, particularly during holidays and festive periods. The new road is expected to ease travel to the destination while improving the overall experience for commuters and tourists.
The civic body is focusing on developing the route with improved infrastructure and public facilities. Along with wider road connectivity, dedicated cycling and walking tracks and landscaped areas will provide visitors with a more convenient and pleasant travel experience.
Construction work on the project is progressing, with the SMC aiming to make the road accessible to the public shortly.
