COIMBATORE: The Ukkadam – Selvapuram bypass road which is being used by motorists as an alternative route to reach Siruvani Road, Palakkad Road and Pollachi Road was choked due to its bad shape on Sunday.
For around two hours between 11 am and 1 pm, the place near the retail fish market on the bypass road witnessed traffic jams as vehicles struggled to cross the pothole-ridden stretch. Until last month, all buses from Palakkad Road and Pollachi Road were diverted on this road. Even now, due to the flyover work at Athupalam, buses mostly use this route to reach Ukkadam via Sundakkamuthur Road.
