Prime road to be 6-lane soon.

The Overbridge-Thampanoor stretch is all set to become a six-lane carriageway with works on it slated to be completed in 15 days.

Work on the star culvert near the Ponnara Sreedhar Park leading to the Pazhavangadi Canal is over and the TRDCL, the concessionaire of CRIP, has given the first layer of bitumen coat for the road near the roundabout, easing traffic to a big extent. Construction of footpaths is in full swing. Medians of one to two metre width are already in place, making it impossible for autorickshaws to take U-turns, thereby causing traffic blocks.

The temporary bus-stops of the KSRTC on the stretch now need to be shifted. The pre-paid autorickshaw stand near the Indian Coffee House too will be shifted to the KSRTC premises for the time being.
