Taking a serious note of the unending traffic logjam along the Main Central (MC) Road and its adjoining roads around the Kottayam town, the authorities have decided to dismantle the arch of the Travancore Cements Limited at the Cement Junction.
Addressing a meeting of the Taluk Development Committee here the other day, officials with the Public Works department said a relocation of the arch from the junction to the entrance of the cement company at Nattakom would help widen the stretch where the Thiruvathukal Bypass meets the MC Road.
Direction boards would be installed along the bypass road to direct the vehicles bound to the Government medical colleges to the hospital without getting stuck in the city traffic.
