THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Construction of the proposed service bridge at NH 66 bypass at Thiruvallam is likely to be delayed as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) headquarters has asked the NHAI regional office to revise the project. Though the Union Government had given the nod to construct the service bridge while retaining the old bridge, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) headquarters wants the project to be implemented after demolishing the old bridge.
Earlier, NHAI regional office had approached the Centre to construct a service road without demolishing the old one. As per the plan, the new service bridge was for motorists coming from Ambalathara to Thiruvallam and Pachalloor while the old bridge will be the main carriage way of the NH bypass. However, the new proposal by the NHAI headquarters has put the regional office in a fix as the latter needs to come up with a new design for the project.
