A joint inspection by a team of officials from the Department of Highways and the Southern Railway was conducted on Saturday as part of the efforts to start work on the road overbridge (ROB) that will replace the manned railway level crossing (LC 81) near the railway station in Vaniyambadi town near Tirupattur.
The joint inspection comes a few days after the local traders closed their shops, demanding immediate resumption of the bridge work by the government agencies. “Preparatory work for the new facility is being discussed by senior officials of the department at the State Secretariat. Work is expected to start soon,” said K. Sundar, Divisional Engineer (DE), Department of Highways for Projects (Vellore).
