THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Shankumukham-domestic airport road, left dilapidated for many months due to frequent sea erosion, will be restored into normal state, said Transport Minister Antony Raju. The minister said the road will be opened to traffic within four months and a 330-metre stretch of the road will be protected using diaphragm walls.
“The road will be readied so as to ensure that the road will not be damaged anymore in these attacks in the future. The vulnerable part of the road will be strengthened with erecting strong protection walls. Now, the weather condition is also available and hence the works are progressing fast,” he told media persons. Antony also added that there is a negative campaign circulaed on social media with the use of pictures of air passengers walking on the road with luggage to reach the domestic airport. “ There are alternate ways to reach the domestic airport. There are also signages on the road to direct the passengers,” he said.
