‘It will streamline traffic in the proposed M.G. Road-NH Bypass corridor’
The Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB) will examine the feasibility of readying a flyover linking the eastern side of Kathrikadavu Junction, ending beyond the Jewish cemetery on the western side, it was decided on Friday.
This followed a joint inspection of the area by Hibi Eden, MP; T.J. Vinod and P.T. Thomas MLAs; Mayor M. Anilkumar, District Collector Jafar Malik, and officials of the Kochi Corporation and KRFB. Among the objectives was to discuss with the cemetery authorities the need to acquire a portion of the cemetery land as part of the project to develop M.G. Road-Pullepady-Thammanam-NH Bypass Road into a four-lane corridor.
A flyover / overbridge that was already under consideration at Kathrikadavu was dropped in the detailed project report (DPR) readied a month ago for the development of the road, considering the need to acquire an additional three metres of land on either side at Kathrikadavu Junction to build service roads.
