KOCHI: Much to the relief of motorists, the reconstruction of the Palarivattom flyover is reaching its final stage. The structure is being rebuilt after a prolonged controversy over the poor quality of construction. If everything goes as per plan, the refurbished flyover will be ready by the end of March, within just six months after the work started.
Helmed by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) with the support of Uralungal Labour Contract Co-operative Society (ULCCS), 102 girders and 17 spans which were dismantled after finding structural deficiencies, have already been replaced. Pillars and pier caps were strengthened with RCC jacketing.
