Rainwater Accumulation Under Vadakkovai Flyover Causes Inconvenience to Commuters

Recent moderate rainfall in Coimbatore has led to significant water accumulation under the Vadakkovai flyover, causing difficulties for vehicle drivers on July 17.


Coimbatore: The city of Coimbatore has been experiencing moderate rainfall in various areas over the past few days, resulting in a cooler climate and reduced temperatures. This change in weather has brought relief to residents from the prevailing heat.

However, the rainfall on July 16 has led to an unexpected problem in one of the city's key areas. A large amount of rainwater has accumulated under the Vadakkovai flyover, creating a challenging situation for commuters.



The waterlogging in this underpass has caused significant inconvenience to vehicle drivers on July 17. Motorists attempting to use this route are facing difficulties navigating through the accumulated water, leading to slower traffic movement and potential safety concerns.

This situation highlights the need for improved drainage systems in flood-prone areas of the city, especially near crucial infrastructure like flyovers and underpasses. As Coimbatore continues to receive rainfall, addressing such issues becomes crucial to ensure smooth traffic flow and public safety.
