DPR for North-South green corridor in Kochi by November
The Hindu
The project aims at decongesting M.G. Road and Banerjee Road by providing direct connectivity between two railway stations
The detailed project report (DPR) for the 2.5-km European Union (EU)-aided ‘green corridor’ proposed between Ernakulam Town (North) and Ernakulam Junction (South) railway stations is expected to be readied by November. The much-awaited corridor has been envisaged under a 1-million Euro grant from the EU under Mobilise Your City (MYC) programme, to decongest M.G. Road and Banerjee Road in Kochi by providing direct connectivity between the two railway stations. It will thus lessen the distance between the two stations by almost half. In addition, it will have links with the KSRTC bus station (which will be relocated to Karikkamuri in a couple of years) and four metro stations on the route, helping bus and metro commuters as well.More Related News
