KOCHI: It was in 2006 that the Greater Cochin Development Authority (GCDA) mooted a 64-km Outer Ring Road to decongest the entire Kochi city.
The much-needed road corridor through the city’s immediate suburbs still remains a non-starter even after 16 years and people are pinning their hopes on the upcoming council meeting of GCDA. As per the proposal, the 64-km Ring Road starts from Queen’s Walkway near Goshree Bridge in the city. It passes through Vaduthala, Chittoor, Chennur, Thundathumkadavu, Varapuzha, Alangad, Nedumbassery, Puthencruz, Chottanikkara, Mulanthuruthy, Udayamperoor and ends at NH bypass south of Kundannoor. The road will also connect Container Road, NH66, NH47 and NH49.
