Trichy Corporation to Build 10 km IBT Link Road for Residential Areas

22 Aug 2024 CW Team

The Trichy Corporation plans to develop a new 10 km link road along the banks of the Koraiyar and Kudamurutti rivers to connect the upcoming Integrated Bus Terminus (IBT) in Panjapur with various residential areas of Trichy. The project, which will be carried out in three phases, has received administrative approval for one phase, with a budget allocation of Rs 680 million.

The proposed road is expected to be approximately 9 meters wide and will feature elevated sections at five key locations, totaling about 5 km in length. These elevated stretches are planned for the Rajiv Gandhi Nagar railway crossing (E Pudur), Dindigul NH (Karumandapam), Kuzhumayee Amman temple (behind the district collector?s office), Vayalur Road (MM Nagar), and Karur NH (near Kudamurutti). Additionally, a 400-metre approach road will be constructed where the link road intersects major roads and narrow stretches.

An elevated road near the Kudamurutti bridge on the Trichy-Karur NH is also being planned, potentially integrated with the Kalaignar Arivalayam flyover proposed by the state highways department.

Land acquisition, involving around 9 acre, is required for the project. A senior Trichy Corporation official mentioned that the land would be secured through negotiations and an amicable approach. Once technical approval is received from the municipal administration department, tenders will be issued to commence construction. The total cost of the project is projected to be Rs 3.67 billion.

The new road is designed to alleviate congestion in densely populated areas like Karumandapam and Vayalur Road, while also strengthening the flood-prone banks of the Koraiyar and Kudamurutti rivers to reduce flood risks in nearby residential neighbourhoods.
