The only thing I know about this new parallel Kalady bridge is that it is state govt sanctioned, the budget is Rs 42 cr, and it will be 7.50 metres wide with 1.5 metres walkway,

Yes already the current bridge is this huge 400 metres and 22-feet wide stretch is a crucial link across the Periyar river on the MC road.

See the market is already doing good because of the existing Kalady bridge. But once this bridge is fixed, and also when there is the new parallel bridge, connectivity is going to be much smoother, which means better capital appreciation.

Ive also found out that steps will be taken to directly purchase the four acres of land required for setting up the approach road on either sides of the bridge.

Yes, besides, the PWD has already been asked to prepare a proposal on land acquisition and submit it to the Cabinet with an approval from the Finance Department.

According to Saju Paul, MLA, the meeting has given an in-principle approval to the proposal for an alternative alignment to the bridge’s approach road.

Actually at the meeting convened at the CM’s office in Thiruvananthapuram, it was also decided to complete the ongoing repair works on the existing Kalady bridge at the earliest and throw it open for traffic by October 5.

Yeah actually there was an impasse over the construction of the parallel bridge in Kalady, but it has been finally resolved with a high-level meeting convened by Chief Minister Oommen Chandy on last Wednesday where he decided to expedite the work.

Actually I know what you're talking about - there is already a bridge in Kalady the Sree Sankara bridge. I think you're asking about the one that is supposed to come up parallel to this one right?
