THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The construction of two significant smart road projects in the capital is set to commence next week. These projects, namely the Ayyankali Hall (formerly VJT Hall) to Zam Zam stretch and the Spencer-AKG Centre stretch are part of the Smart City Mission scheme and have been pending for a considerable period. The contract for both projects has been awarded to Kochi-based Tech Mantra.
The Ayyankali Hall-Zam Zam stretch will not only undergo blacktopping but will also be beautified, taking inspiration from the design of the Manaveeyam stretch. The beautification will incorporate themes reflecting the traditions and architecture of Ayyankali Hall and the nearby University College. Additionally, work on the road in front of the Government Model School at Thycaud will commence within two weeks, with the contract for this stretch also finalised.
