Background

edit

The foundation stone for the flyover was laid in 2019. The flyover is designed to ease the traffic congestion caused in Ukkadam and Aathupalam junctions.[2]

Planning

edit

The flyover begins at the western end of Oppanakara Street near the Ukkadam signal and proceeds towards Aathupalam junction via Karumbukadai and will bifurcate into two branches- one on the Pollachi Road and Palakkad Road. The flyover will have an exit and entry ramp on the Sungam bypass road.[2][3]
