CM likely to open it soon through virtual mode
The work on construction of a high-level bridge across the Vaigai in lieu of Kuruvikaran Salai causeway has been completed and is set for inauguration, a Corporation official said here on Saturday.
The bridge with 10 spans is 200 metres long and 17.50 metres wide. There is a 2.25-metre-wide pedestrian pathway on either side of the bridge which has been constructed at a cost of ₹23.17 crore. The causeway outlived its utility and a demolition order was issued in 2019. Work on the new bridge started on May 11, 2020.

Before entering cinema, the artistic life of Malayalam actor Sreenivasan was shaped on the theatre stage, with Thrikkarippur emerging as one of the most vibrant centres of his early journey. It was from this fertile training ground that the artiste—who concealed layers of social thought beneath humour—paved his way into cinema. Thrikkarippur played a decisive role in this formative phase. A committed theatre activist, Sreenivasan formed the drama troupe Ghanashyama and made Thrikkarippur its base of operations.
