Sarangapani Memorial Flyover repair work triggers traffic snarl on alternative route

MAYILADUTHURAI: Due to the ongoing renovation work on Sarangapani Memorial Flyover in Mayiladuthurai, commuters are facing traffic congestion on the Kallanai-Poompuhar Road, which is the alternative route during this period. Commuters have been using the Kallanai-Poompuhar Road for the past three weeks.

However, the Mappadugai railway gate on this road does not have a flyover, resulting in additional traffic to the existing traffic congestion at the crossing. Commuters face delays for hours, with vehicles queued on both sides of the gate.
