The construction of a new bridge across the Cauvery between Nerur in Karur district and Unniyur in Tiruchi district is expected to be completed by June
The construction of a new bridge across the Cauvery between Nerur in Karur district and Unniyur in Tiruchi district is expected to be completed by June.
About 85% of the construction work on the bridge had been completed so far, sources in the State Highways Department (Projects Wing) told The Hindu.
“The decks have been completed and work is under way on building the approach road on the two sides. Only construction of parapet and a few other allied work remains to be finished. We plan to complete the work by May or June,” said an official of the department.
The construction of the bridge would come as a huge relief to residents on either side of the river. Unniyur is 4 km from Kattuputhur in Tiruchi district and villagers have to now travel about 30 km to reach Nerur on the other side. Nerur is about 11 km from Karur. The construction of the bridge would reduce the travel time drastically for the villagers.
The Sri Sadasiva Brahmendral Adhishtanam located at Nerur attracts a large number of tourists. The bridge would significantly improve road connectivity in the region and the travel time between Tiruchi and Karur and between Karur and Chennai would come down significantly once the bridge is opened to traffic.
The high level bridge would be 1.1-km long with 26 spans. The overall width of the bridge would be 12.90 metres, including pavements on both sides. A minor bridge would be constructed across a canal as part of the approach road on Unniyur side.
