Edappally-Aroor Elevated Highway Project in Kochi Put on Hold by Ministry
The 14.64-15 km Edappally-Aroor elevated highway project in Kochi has been put on hold by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari informed MP Hibi Eden that priority is given to widening the Thiruvananthapuram-Kasaragod NH 66 stretch and completing ongoing projects. Challenges include technical issues with integrating the elevated highway with existing flyovers and metro lines. The National Highways Authority of India is focusing on the Angamaly-Aroor bypass and Kochi Outer Ring Road to address congestion.
