Canadian agency to conduct feasibility study and prepare detailed project report
The project to develop Conolly canal in the city into a major waterway is all set to be speeded up, with Kerala Waterways and Infrastructures Ltd. (KWIL) zeroing in on an agency to conduct a feasibility study and prepare a detailed project report (DPR).
Lee Associates, a Canadian firm, has been shortlisted from 10 companies that submitted expressions of interest to KWIL.
The 23 bridges, including four on major roads, across the Conolly canal are the main hurdles to the development of the canal. “All the bridges are very low and hence need to be raised, so that boats could pass under them,” KWIL sources told The Hindu.
