I am glad this bridge is finally being built. I think the main problem for the delay of this project was land acquisition. Even in March this year, there were many traders who have shops in this area, protesting against the construction of the bridge. But now they have started work on the project, and they authorities have said that they will complete the project in record time. The level crossing which is near the Ernakulam junction and Shornur junction has had major traffic jams every day. This will hopefully reduce the traffic in the area.

Yes, I think the Pachalam Railway overbridge will be useful for commuters and residents of Pachalam. You know, this bridge had actually been first sanctioned in 2000! It's taken them almost fifteen years to start this project. This is what we can expect from our government! This bridge will be a two lane bridge, which will be built by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). This bridge will be very useful because this is a busy area, and around 100 trains run on this line every day. Because of this level crossing, there are huge traffic jams in the area. I think this overbridge will massively help in reducing traffic.
