Angadippuram ROB Project Report Submitted

  • The Roads and Bridges Development Corporation (RBDC) has submitted the detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed Angadippuram rail overbridge (ROB) to the PWD secretary on Thursday.A fund of Rs 10 lakh has been allotted in the rail budget presented on Wednesday for the construction of the ROB.

  • The joint team of revenue department and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) had completed the survey for the proposed two-lane ROB and, amid protest from the local people, the KITCO -- the agency appointed to prepare the detailed project report -- had completed the soil test at the site two weeks ago.The test proved the proposed site suitable for the construction of the bridge. KITCO had submitted a detailed report regarding this to RBDC last week to finalize the design.The PWD will hand over the DPR to the Union transport ministry soon.

  • Meanwhile, the development work of the 2km stretch of NH 213 from Angadippuram railway gate to Perinthalmanna began on Thursday. The 10-metre wide road will be widened to 15 metre and it will be made into four-lane from railway gate to the Jubilee Road junction. This is expected to ease the traffic congestion in the railway gate area. The road will be four lane from Railway Gate to the Jubilee Road junction, with 15 metre width. At present the road has only ten metre width in the area.The electric posts and transformers in the region would be relocated as part of the works. The estimated cost of the project is Rs 3.45 crore.
