The redevelopment of Vyttila Junction is hanging fire, almost three years after the worsening of traffic congestion despite the Public Works department (NH wing) building a six-lane flyover over the Edappally-Aroor NH Bypass.
The department had assured that short- and long-term plans would be finalised and implemented to decongest the busiest junction in Kerala. A whopping one lakh passenger car units cross the junction each day.
While a senior official of the PWD NH wing said that Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB) ought to take a call on the junction’s redevelopment and ready a design, KRFB officials said they were yet to be formally entrusted with the task.
