NHAI chalks out new infra to ease Edappally Jn traffic

KOCHI : Edappally junction, the busiest in the state and notorious for its gridlocks, is all set to undergo a major transformation with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) all set to embark on a journey to improve the flow of traffic at this vital intersection.

Based on the plan, NHAI will construct two vehicle underpasses (VUPs) on either side of NH 66, which will ensure the smooth flow of traffic towards Varapuzha and Vyttila. The new infrastructure has been planned as part of the NH 66 widening project, which is proceeding in full swing in the district, said sources with the authority.
