| Project Detail : | The Kerala government has speeded up construction of 6.8-km two-lane long approach road, road over bridges (ROBs), and development of Kalarcode and Kommady junctions, which are part of the Alappuzha bypass project, informed state PWD minister who blamed the contractor and National Highways Authority of India for the delay in completing the construction of two junctions. The Alappuzha bypass project was first mooted four decades ago, however, it remained on paper. The bypass project consists of two rail over bridges (RoBs) at Malikamukku and Kuthirapanthy. After a long wait, the Railways gave the nod for installing girders as part of the construction of the RoB at Malikamukku recently. Subsequently, girders have been placed on the bridge and concreting over the girders will start shortly. Though most of the project has been completed, the bypass can only be opened to traffic after completion of two RoBs. The 6.8-km two-lane bypass road will link Kommady in the north and Kalarcode in the south and pass on the western side of National Highway 66
