Work to beautify the space beneath the Anna flyover, including landscaping and lighting, will be taken up shortly.
The Periyar statue, in one of the islands in the space, would be lifted up to give it a better visibility as part of the work to be taken up at a cost of ₹8.5 crore.
“The height of the pedestal of the statue is being increased so that it is visible. At present, the greenery around it is blocking the view,” said an official in the Highways Department.
