Palarivattom flyover will be safe for 100 years if rebuilt, says govt

KOCHI: The state government has submitted before the Supreme Court that even if the Palarivattom flyover is made traffic worthy through repair work, the maximum tenure of the flyover will be below 20 years whereas by spending Rs 18.71 crore, the flyover can be reconstructed so that it would last for 100 years. Hence, the state government’s decision to reconstruct the flyover is to protect the larger public interest and public safety.
