The traffic on the Gap Road stretch of the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway in Munnar will be resumed on Monday morning. The traffic was suspended after heavy rain triggered a major landslip along the Chemmannar stretch of the Gap Road on Friday.
National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) assistant executive engineer Rex Felix said, “Only single lane traffic will be allowed during the daytime. Night travel along the Gap Road stretch will remain suspended until further notice.”
“Security personnel and the police will be deployed on the route to ensure the safety of travellers. The road will be fully opened for traffic only after a detailed inspection,” Mr. Felix said.
