I dont know why the project in Vytilla is getting such a setback. The other two of the four flyover projects, the projects at Edappally and that in Palarivattom was launched earlier. But, two projects are remaining as non-starters actually.

Actually the plan was to seek the financial help from the centre to complete the works of the flyovers. This will help in easing out the traffic congestion at the National Highway stretch between Kundannoor and Edappally. I think the cost of construction of the flyover was estimated at around Rs. 251.22 crore rupees.

Oh..this was the part of the same construction of four flyovers in kochi no? Earlier, in 2014, early on itself the minister for public work had announced the completion of the feasibility study for the 4 flyovers at Vytilla, Palarivattom, Edappally, and Kundanoor junctions. The total estimated cost was around rs. 1.158 crores.

I think that the work of the vytilla flyover was to be commenced by September last year itself. But this has been delayed by so long. I think this delay was because of the delay from the financial department in sanctioning the tender for preparing the desing.

I heard that the soil testing for the flyover began at the service road on the northern part of Vytilla Junction some days before. However, there will be some rigorous soil testing measures because of the geographic specialities of Kochi as it is mostly a marshy land.

I think that there is a design that was submitted by the project consultant of the PWD. there was in the news that the DMRC and the NHAI has already asked the agencies to rework the technical aspects of the project after streamlining the movement of the pedestrians and ensuring the safety. They have also asked to avoid the collision points at the road level so as to ensure safer commuting.

Actually, Rakesh, you know, this was in the news since a very long time. till now only the soil testing works have been done. Even the final shape of the project is also yet to be drawn after the high level meeting of the PWD.
