The National Transportation Planning and Research Centre (NATPAC) has submitted a detailed report to the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board(KIIFB) outlining steps to decongest Vyttila – said to be the biggest junction in Kerala, where acute traffic congestion and chaos prevail even after the commissioning of a six-lane flyover in 2021.
The report is a revision of the one that had been prepared in May 2023.
The revision follows a recent decision to allocate land to the KSRTC for a long-distance bus depot at the Vyttila Mobility Hub (VMH), in return for the KSRTC-owned land at Karikkamury in the city to build an integrated bus terminal. The report also took into account the phase-two development of VMH, where commercial development has been envisaged as part of steps to mobilise revenue, said sources in NATPAC.
