Road in front of mall to be merged with portion of footpath
Bottlenecked parts of Edappally Junction will be redeveloped, a pair of flyovers built and U-turns redeveloped to streamline traffic flow at the junction where NH 66 and NH 66 bypass meet NH 544, it was decided on Friday.
The process has begun as per directions of the Minister for Public Works Mohamed Riyas. Similarly, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded the tender to widen NH 66 (Edappally-Kodungalloor stretch), Industries Minister P. Rajeeve said.
As per the plan, the two-lane road in front of Lulu Mall will be merged with a portion of the 2.10-m wide footpath to ensure smooth flow of vehicles. In addition, a pair of flyovers have been proposed (perpendicular to the existing four-lane flyover which failed to decongest the junction), NHAI officials said.
