Details on widening of Seaport-Airport Road in Kochi
Q: Hello people, can anyone tell me more about the developments going on in the seaport airport road in kochi? Is govt. planning to develop this road. Please give me more info on this. thanks
Exactly, The major problem i have seen is in the road near Irumpanam and Cochin Special Economic Zone. There are many commercial establishments that have extended their shops to pavements by four to five feet. This also resulted in some dangerous parking near these shops. But, for the widening of the seaport-airport road, these illegal encroachments would be identified and evicted.
Hey, the anti-encroachment drive of the government is also active in this road. Recently, it was in the news that the drive against any encroachment in the remaining area of the 13 kilometer long stretch of the road. strict measures to evict the large number of street vendors who have encroached will be taken in some days.
the seaport-airport road is actually a very strategic road in kochi, but right now there are much issues about the traffic in this road. the government initiative is to widen the roads. The first phase of this project is about to finish.
Yeah, the widening of the seaport-airport road, especially the two kilometer road between HMT junction and Bharathamatha College at thrikkekkara is almost finished. Now, i think the plan of four laning will start. it will continue up to the Eranakulam Collectorate in next two or three weeks.
