CM likely to open it soon through virtual mode
The work on construction of a high-level bridge across the Vaigai in lieu of Kuruvikaran Salai causeway has been completed and is set for inauguration, a Corporation official said here on Saturday.
The bridge with 10 spans is 200 metres long and 17.50 metres wide. There is a 2.25-metre-wide pedestrian pathway on either side of the bridge which has been constructed at a cost of ₹23.17 crore. The causeway outlived its utility and a demolition order was issued in 2019. Work on the new bridge started on May 11, 2020.

When reporters brought to her notice the claim by villagers that the late maharaja of Mysore Sri Jayachamaraja Wadiyar had gifted the land to them, Pramoda Devi Wadiyar said she is not aware of the matter, but sought to assure people that no effort will be made to take back the land that had been gifted by the late maharaja.
