Avinashi Flyover: Huge Iron Span to be Placed Over Railway Overbridge

21 May 2025 CW Team

A senior official from the Special Project Wing explained that a concrete deck of such length was not practical across active railway lines. Therefore, the department had decided to opt for a specially fabricated iron span.

With the span now ready, its installation is awaiting railway clearance. The Salem Division of Southern Railway has already given its approval, while the final clearance is still pending from the Southern Railway headquarters in Chennai. For the installation process, railway operations under the ROB will need to be suspended for at least five days.

The official also mentioned that once the iron span is installed, it will be reinforced with concrete to ensure structural stability and durability. The flyover will feature eight ramps — four entry and four exit points — strategically located at key junctions such as Anna Statue, Nava India, Hope College, and near the airport.

Signaling renewed momentum in the project, an internal auditing team from the State Highways Department recently conducted an inspection of the on-going work. The team, led by Ramesh, Superintending Engineer (Construction & Maintenance) from the Coimbatore Division, and Saravana Selvam, Divisional Engineer from the Pollachi Division, reviewed the site and evaluated the progress of the elevated corridor.

With the final phase of construction underway, residents of Coimbatore can soon anticipate significant relief from the chronic traffic congestion on Avinashi Road. Valued at Rs 16.21 billion, the project is not only a major infrastructure development but also stands as a testament to persistence in overcoming logistical and engineering challenges.
