The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has reopened the main carriageway over the vehicular underpass (VUP) at Sengipatti on the Tiruchi-Thanjavur National Highway to two-way traffic.
The carriageway was reopened after completion of the rectification work on the approach road to the underpass. “All the repair works have been completed and two-way traffic resumed on the VUP from Monday,” sources in the NHAI told The Hindu.
On June 20 last year, some of the facia panels on the southern side of the flyover near the Sengipatti bus stop collapsed. Following this, traffic on the stretch was suspended and vehicles were diverted to the service lanes as a precautionary measure.
