Varappuzha bridge to be opened in Dec 1st week, to ease NH 66 traffic

KOCHI: In a significant relief for commuters battling acute traffic congestion, the first of seven major bridges along the 26-km Edappally-Moothakunnam stretch of NH 66 is scheduled to be opened to traffic in the first week of December. The key structure — new Varappuzha bridge — promises to significantly ease the bottleneck caused by vehicles plying in both directions on the old bridge.
