Ending a wait that lasted nearly two decades, the railway overbridge (RoB) near Caritas Junction at Thellakom was thrown open to the public on Thursday.
Public Works Minister P.A. Mohammed Riyas, who inaugurated the RoB online, said a project worth ₹250 crores was on to make Kerala a level-cross free State. It envisages construction of as many as 94 RoBs including 72 RoBs by the Roads and Bridges Corporation.
Further, 63 flyovers being built under the KIIFB project are at various stages of implementation. The government aims to complete 25 railway flyovers by 202 and of this, acquisition of 20 is in progress, he added.
