State government nod for project awaited: sources
Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) has decided to build a 22-metre-wide road linking S.N. Junction with the metro’s Thripunithura terminal station and to extend the road further up to Hill Palace Road. The State government’s nod for the project was awaited, said sources.
The decision comes in the wake of memoranda submitted by the Thripunithura Rajanagari Union of Residents’ Associations (TRURA) to the metro agency and to the Chief Minister. The organisation was on the warpath demanding a 22-metre-wide carriageway, citing that roads beneath the 27-km Aluva-Pettah-S.N. Junction metro corridor had that width.
As per the earlier plan, the width of the road proposed beneath the metro’s S.N. Junction-Thripunithura station corridor (Phase 1-B) was to be confined to 16 metres, unless the Thripunithura municipality stepped in with support.
