| Project Title : | CCoimbatore’s road connectivity to airport gets boost with proposed Neelikonampalayam ROB extension |
| Company Name : | Private Company |
| Project Detail : | The long-standing demand for better road connectivity to Coimbatore International Airport has gained significant momentum, with the State Highways Department planning to extend the Neelikonampalayam railway overbridge (ROB) up to the airport. This extension aims to alleviate the severe traffic congestion on Trichy Road, particularly during peak hours and when trains pass through the Neelikonampalayam railway gate. Local residents, daily commuters, and members of the district road safety committee have strongly advocated for this extension, highlighting the need for a seamless connection to the airport. K Kathirmathiyon, a member of the Road Safety Committee, emphasised the importance of considering a four-lane flyover for future traffic demands. "We urged them to consider a four-lane flyover instead of the usual two-lane structure," he said. A senior official from the state highways department confirmed that the proposal is being actively reviewed, with the revised plan now calling for a two-km flyover instead of the original one-km design. |
