Demolition of Encroachments for Overbridge Construction Progresses in Ukkadam

In Coimbatore's Ukkadam area, demolition of private buildings and encroachments is being conducted to facilitate the construction of an overbridge from Ukkadam to Aathupalam, aiming for a June opening.

Coimbatore: Ukkadam is currently witnessing rapid construction activities as part of an ongoing project to build an overpass extending to Aathupalam. Authorities are focused on clearing encroachments and certain private structures to pave the way for the new infrastructure.



The initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance traffic flow and public transportation efficiency in the area.



The construction started clearing commercial complexes housing about 30 shops opposite the Ukkadam bus station, deemed necessary for road and transportation developments. This action aligns with plans to facilitate smoother bus operations and commuter movement at the busy bus station.

Local officials anticipate that the overpass will be operational by June, significantly benefiting the daily commuters by reducing traffic congestion. The expectation is that once the construction completes, Ukkadam will see a transformation in its traffic management and aesthetic appeal, contributing to a well-organized urban environment.
