Work on service road of flyover at a standstill

While work on the 425-m long flyover at Mele Pazhavangady, across the arterial road linking the Power House (PH) and Thakaraparambu roads is nearing completion, the construction of the service road has never quite taken off despite preliminary activities for the project commencing nearly four years ago. This lack of progress in the work can be attributed to the delay in laying pipes for a Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA)-aided drinking water supply scheme.
