Better roads in Coimbatore
The highways department in Coimbatore has said that they will soon start the work of widening of a few roads in the Selvapuram-Puttuveekki Lake-Kovaipudur Road. The construction will be on the docks very soon and the highway department will initate the work in a fast pace. The proposal will hopefully decongest the traffic Ukkadam-Kuniamuthur-Kovaipudur Pirivu stretch of Palakkad Main Road. The new road will be a narrow one for the movement of the two wheelers only.
Officials say that the acquisition of the land will be in a fast pace as the density of population potholes in the area is much less. Also the work should not take long to complete as the road will run through agricultural patches. People in the state are also waiting for the completion of the work eagerly as the construction will end the traffic woes of the commuters. The road in the area is also in a dire need to be repaired as the stretch is filled with. Driving through the stretch is actually a motorists nightmare.The ongoing clash between L&T Company, which operates the Athupalam bridge under BOT, and the National Highways Authority over toll collection has resulted in poor condition of the 3-km stretch were the toll booths are located.
Officials have said that once the road is widened, the Puttuveeki Lake Road can channel traffic bound for Siruvani and Palakkad. Long distance buses and trucks also can also ply through the route.
