Q: Hi all, I need some information related to the recent road development works in Kochi. If anyone happens to hear any news about this, please share it with me.
I heard that a total of 17.80 kms of road are included in the project. As part of renovation, the roads will be repaired using BM and BC tarring method. Culverts will be widened and security markings will also be ensured on the roads.
The repair work is being undertaken using Rs 12 crore from Central government’s road fund programme. This road development program is going on after a long wait for the renovation. Actually, the engineers were waiting for the winter to finish and the best time before the monsoon from what I came to know.
Actually, you know, the Puthiyakavu Poothotta road runs parallel to Tripunithura- Vaikom road, connecting Tripunithura with Vaikom temple. Apart from Puthiyakavu-Poothotta MLA road, Eroor Puthenkulangara road and Market road are also included in the road development programme by the government.
I think that the road works in Kochi have been started. The roads in Kochi are very neglected and are in pathetic condition with many potholes and all there. I think recently only the MLA K Babu inaugurated the repair of Puthiyakavu-Poothotta MLA Road at Poothotta junction.
