KOCHI: After a month-long hiatus, Vyttila flyover construction work finally resumed on Saturday. However, unavailability of gravel for the span construction might lead to missing the December deadline.
“Due to the blanket ban on quarries by the Mining and Geology Department, we are unable to obtain the required amount of gravel from quarries. Though we understand the post-flood situation in the state, unavailability of material has been delaying the main span concrete work. Once the available stock of gravel at the plant is over, we have no other option but to stop the concrete work,” said an official of Sreedhanya constructions, the contractor of the flyover. The complete halt to issuing an online pass for both quarry works and usage of stocked metal from crushers have affected the sector, said the official.
