Citizens of Coimbatore express distress over the slow pace of the flyover construction on Coimbatore-Avinashi Road, calling for expedited completion.
Coimbatore: The construction of the 10.1 km flyover on Coimbatore-Avinashi Road, spanning from Uppilipalayam to Goldwins, has been the subject of criticism due to its sluggish progress. Initiated in December 2020 with a budget of Rs 1,621.30 crore, the project is designed to alleviate traffic congestion through a 17.25-meter-wide, four-lane roadway. This includes the use of box-shaped girders and a segmental construction approach.
In addition to the main thoroughfare, the plan incorporates service roads, rainwater drains, and pedestrian pathways on both sides of the 10½ meter wide road. However, the pace of work has been notably slow, leading to public discontent.
This delay has resulted in significant traffic bottlenecks, especially noticeable since the reopening of schools after holiday breaks. The traffic congestion is most acute during peak hours, stretching from the Nava India Signal to Hope College.
Residents are increasingly concerned about the timeline for the project's completion. The slow pace of work, particularly after a change in state administration, raises questions about the originally planned completion date of August 2024.
The daily struggles faced by motorists, trapped in frequent traffic jams, have led to a strong public outcry. There is an urgent call for the acceleration of construction work, to alleviate the ongoing traffic woes and fulfill the initial promises of the project.
