THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Manaveeyam Road, the cultural corridor of the state capital, is all set to be opened to the public before Onam. According to Smart City Thiruvananthapuram Limited (SCTL), the implementing agency of the project, only road tarring and footpath laying works are pending.
“The tarring works will begin in a week while the laying of the footpath will start in two weeks’ time. Other beautification works will be carried out simultaneously. The Kalabhavan Road will also be opened within two weeks as the works are nearing completion. The lack of rainfall has helped the work gain momentum,” said a senior official with the SCTL.
