Accident-prone Container Road to get street lights

Proposal to build walkway on western end of road submitted to minister, says MP
Under fire for the spree of accidents on the 16-km Container Road that links Vallarpadam Container Transshipment Terminal with NH 66 at Kalamassery, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is readying to install street lights on the stretch.
The largely isolated road that abuts the backwaters on the north-western side of Kochi had also become a haven for miscreants and those who dump septic tank and other waste under the cover of darkness. This led to NGOs and commuters demanding that the NHAI, which collects hefty toll from motorists using the corridor, install street lights, reflectors and warning/direction boards.
