Construction of bridge at Kochi’s Kathrikadavu rescheduled
The Hindu
It will be taken up in Phase-II of Thammanam-Pullepady road widening project
Even as the preparation of the detailed project report (DPR) for widening the Thammanam-Pullepady road and extending it to M.G. Road and the NH Bypass is in the final stage, stakeholders have decided to postpone the construction of a bridge at Kathrikadavu in the corridor to the second phase of the project.
The PWD (Design Wing) had submitted a draft DPR a couple of months ago to the Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB), the agency which is executing the work. Among the options suggested was to limit the project to widening the road to 22 metres and extending it to either side, while constructing the bridge at Kathrikadavu in the second phase.
The PWD was to submit the DPR by the end of December. However, it has been postponed to January, sources said.
