Four projects under the Corporation’s Smart city project are set to be commissioned within a month. Among these are two renovated parks, a vending zone and an open-air theatre.
Meanwhile, the opening of the Smart Road at Manaveyaam Veedhi will be delayed for at least two more weeks due to pending works of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA). Officials of Smart City Thiruvananthapuram Limited, the Kerala Road Fund Board and the KWA visited the site on Wednesday to assess the remaining work.
Although tarring of the Smart Road was completed some days ago after the shifting of utility lines underground, the work on a major supply line of the KWA is remaining at both ends of the road. However, the work on the culture street at Manaveeyam Veedhi, which involves the construction of a permanent stage and related electrical works, is likely to take six more months. Traffic will be allowed through this stretch once the remaining KWA work is completed.
