KOCHI: Chungam bridge, one of the oldest bridges in West Kochi, will be reconstructed by Cochin Smart Mission Ltd (CSML) as part of its efforts to provide improved travel facilities to the residents of the area. As part of the reconstruction, traffic through the bridge has been diverted. The decision was taken collectively by officials of CSML, Kerala Water Authority, KSEB and Police, along with councillors of various wards. The piling works will be carried out initially. Those who want to travel to Bazar Road through Chungam can use the alternative bridge-Pullupalam. As part of utility shifting, electricity lines have already been relocated. Water supply pipes will also be shifted soon.
