Traffic congestion at Vyttila and on SA Road could go up during the fortnight beginning April 17 due to curbs on movement of vehicles through Chilavannur Bund Road where Kochi Metro Rail Limited (KMRL) is reconstructing a bridge as a wider and taller one.
This is being done as part of the work to widen the canal and to deepen it. Load testing for the piles of the bridge is set to begin on April 17 and hence the traffic regulation. Only two-wheelers and emergency vehicles like ambulances will be permitted through the existing bridge, says a release.
Bund Road that begins from Thykoodam located south of Vyttila, runs parallel to SA Road.
