THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The road from Shankhumukham to Trivandrum Airport domestic terminal, which was closed for many months due to extensive damage owing to sea erosion, will be opened to traffic from Tuesday. Thiruvananthapuram Road Development Company Ltd carried out the work under the supervision of Kerala Road Fund Board (KRFB).
Public Works Minister P A Mohammed Riyas, Transport Minister Antony Raju and Mayor S Arya Rajendran, along with officers, visited the site on Monday. In his Facebook post, Riyas said the Shankhumukham road, also known as the Thiruvananthapuram Airport Road, was one of the first places that he visited after assuming office as the PWD minister in May 2021. The collapse of the road began with the 2017 Cyclone Ockhi disaster. Continuous rains and rough seas further damaged the road. The road was completely destroyed in the May 15 storm. As soon as he took charge, the meeting decided to initiate immediate steps to repair the road.
