Sellur Rail over bridge in Madurai to get new arm
The Hindu
To help vehicles from Goripalayam side to climb down directly into Vaigai North Bank Road
An additional arm would be constructed for the Sellur Rail Over Bridge to enable vehicles proceeding from Goripalayam side to directly climb down on the Vaigai North Bank four-way road at Thathaneri.
Finance Minister, Palanivel Thiaga Rajan, participated in the bhoomi puja for the ₹9.50 crore project held here on Tuesday.
A 320-metre-long arm with 7.5 metre wide carriageway would be constructed along the north side of Vaigai river to connect with the North Bank Road.
Hitherto, vehicles using the Sellur ROB have to go through the narrow two-way road in Thathaneri where traffic congestion is very common.
After construction of the new Vaigai North Bank Road connecting Thathaneri with Dindigul By-Pass Road, only light vehicles that use the Sellur subway could take the wider Vaigai North Bank Road to reach Arapalayam bus stand or Dindigul by-pass without any traffic hurdles.
However, since most of the vehicles from Goripalayam were using only the ROB, the new road has remained underutilised.
"This new arm of the ROB will help divert most of vehicles through the four way road to pass from the eastern part of the city to western part in a hassle-free way," said Superintendenting Engineer, Highways, P. Marimuthurajan.
