The development of two key roads that are long overdue, but would considerably enhance east-west connectivity in the city, are caught in hurdles associated with land acquisition.
The development of Thammanam-Pullepady Road as a four-lane road and its extension to M.G. Road and NH Bypass could have achieved considerable progress but for troubles associated with land acquisition and a slight change in alignment that was proposed earlier this year. The Chilavannur Bund Road that takes off from Thykoodam and is projected to run straight up to Thevara on M.G. Road once land is acquired, too is caught in a similar predicament.
The two roads are expected to considerably decongest Banerjee Road and S.A. Road where traffic hold ups have come to be the norm.
