Kerala’s Manaveeyam road to be opened by Aug 10

Putting an end to uncertainties, the refurbished Manaveeyam road, the cultural corridor in the Thiruvananthapuram, will be opened to the public by August 10. According to Smart City Thiruvananthapuram Limited (SCTL), only road tarring and footpath laying are pending.

If the weather permits, the tarring of the work will start this week while the cobblestones to lay the footpath will be brought here soon. The streetlights specially designed for the corridor have already been installed.

“The work at Manaveeyam Road is going at a fast pace. Though the rain delayed the work for some time, it has picked up pace. The tarring of road and footpath laying are the major pending works now. That will take only a month if there is no heavy rain. So we expect to open the road by August 10. Similarly, the work on Kalabhavan Mani Road is expected to be completed by the end of August,” a top SCTL official said.

The stretch had turned into a dumping ground for construction materials since its work began two years ago. Several spots on the stretch were also dug up. Though the corridor was scheduled to be opened by March 31, the work was delayed due to the redesigning of the stretch. As per the new design, the bollards proposed at various parts of the road to limit vehicular traffic will not be installed.
