KOCHI: The bad state of the road leading to Edappally Toll is causing huge traffic bottlenecks, prompting the Traffic Police officials to close the divider at the junction.
According to the residents, the road’s condition worsened as the monsoon started. “The pothole gets deeper day by day,” says Abhilash Prabhakaran, who runs a car accessories shop at Toll junction.
“The congestion was severe when the divider was open. Now, the vehicles from Edappally side have to take an U-turn at Koonamthai and those from Kalamassery side need to go till Edappally junction, which is a major inconvenience. Despite this, the congestion worsens during peak hours,” he added. The potholes are also causing accidents on the stretch.
