Lanka Corner Bridge in Coimbatore Needs Urgent Repair of Iron Barrier

Residents near Lanka Corner Bridge in Coimbatore request urgent action to repair the fallen iron barrier, which has been causing frequent heavy vehicle jams.


Coimbatore: Residents in the vicinity of the Lanka Corner Bridge have raised concerns regarding a fallen iron barrier that had previously prevented heavy vehicles from passing through. The barrier collapsed a few months ago and has not been repaired since, leading to frequent jams as lorries and cargo tempos get stuck on the bridge.



This situation has become a persistent issue for the local community, causing traffic disruptions and safety concerns. The locals have now urged the authorities to take immediate action to fix the barrier and prevent heavy vehicles from entering the bridge.
