Avenue Plantation

Landscaping along roadsides, highways, and pathways with plantations on either side is known as avenue plantation. Commonly implemented to serve shade and offer aesthetic relief with flowers, Avenue Plantation is also considered for controlling soil erosion, climate stabilization and heat absorption. They also trap particulate matter in the air, thus reducing air and noise pollution levels. Planted over a length of 200 km along the National and State Highways around Hyderabad, the plantation drive has also covered significant roads, including some industrial areas. Each one of the 7 interchanges on ORR have 2 rotaries formed with colourful hedge and shrub plantations.
