Plans on the anvil to decongest Vyttila

Two acres to be acquired to widen bottlenecked bellmouths on all four sides

With the six-lane flyover at Vyttila Junction on the NH Bypass showing little impact on traffic snarls beneath the structure, a site inspection followed by a brainstorming session was held on Thursday, attended by people’s representatives, officials of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), traffic police, and the Motor Vehicles Department (MVD). They suggested short- and long-term plans to decongest the junction, including acquisition of around two acres to widen the bottlenecked bellmouths on all four sides and the ones that lead to side roads like Ponnurunni road that take off from the junction.
