Q:Hey what is the current news on constructing the bridge at Peelamedu? Won't this really help ease the heavy traffic situation in the area? Have the civic authorities atleast started works on it? I might be moving here soon, so I really need to know. Any info would help. Thanks!
Latest Answer: Basically, the Thaneerpandal road rail overbridge was sanctioned around 2008-2009, and the Peelamedu – Cheran Maanagar Road rail overbridge was sanctioned sometime between 2010 and 2011. In fact, these two actually form part of the level crossing in Coimbatore North Tirupur section. These two sanctions that were supposed to be completed sometime between 3 years ago to now, still haven't been completed and if they were, they were expected to expected to turn Coimbatore and Tirupur districts into level crossing-free districts. Once these sanctioned projects are taken up sincerely by the authorities, given priority and focus, only then can development take place and we can rid Coimbatore of all the traffic obstacles.
