Coimbatore Opens New 805-Metre Valankulam Bund Road

21 Aug 2025 CW Team

A newly constructed 805-metre road along the Valankulam Bund in Coimbatore has been opened to traffic, creating an alternative link between Lanka Corner and Ukkadam. The stretch begins opposite the two-wheeler parking lot near the Lanka Corner railway bridge, runs alongside Valankulam Lake, and ends at the Vincent Road junction near the Ukkadam–Sungam bypass.

The road, designed for two-wheelers and cars, was inaugurated by Coimbatore MP Ganapathi P. Rajkumar, District Collector Pavankumar G. Giriyappanavar, and Corporation Commissioner M. Sivaguru Prabakaran.

Urban Mobility Initiative

The project forms part of Coimbatore Corporation’s urban mobility improvements, aimed at easing congestion and improving connectivity. The road offers an alternative to the Town Hall Junction and Vincent Road routes, which often face heavy traffic.

Traffic Management Measures

According to civic officials, the road will function as a one-way stretch from Lanka Corner to Ukkadam, restricted to two-wheelers and cars. This is expected to streamline flow for commuters travelling via Big Bazaar Road to Ukkadam and reduce pressure at the Good Shed Road and Big Bazaar Road junctions.

Earlier, at Lanka Corner where State Bank Road intersects Trichy Road, the Corporation trialled a roundabout system. Based on the assessment, traffic signals will be introduced, with the trial currently in progress.
