The budget features renovation and construction of many roads. The GCDA in the budget have said that they will build a road which will connect to the Edappally railway station for Rs. 16 lakhs. A skywalk will be built in Marine Drive and Menaka, which will also have shopping centres with escalators.

Hey! The budget has many other potentially good revenue generating projects like the marine tunnel aquarium and entertainment park which will have a 7D theatre, a penguin enclosure, and an aquarium at a cost of Rs. 85 crore. The GCDA have also allocated money for developing satellite cities near the Ring Road and in Alangad, and also for Palarivattom junction, and for repairing the Kaloor-Kadavanthra Road.
