National Highways Authority of India has decided to widen and upgrade the entire Edappally-Aroor highway bypass stretch in Kerala into a six-lane. This move will cater to the steep increase in vehicular traffic on the 16-km corridor over a period of time. Currently, the severely congested Edappally-Vyttila stretch has only four-lane width, resulting in vehicles jostling for space for much of the day. The Vyttila-Aroor stretch is largely six-lane, thanks to the widening of the carriageway and new bridges built over a decade ago. Four-lane stretches will be widened to six-lane by redesigning space that is available on the 45-metre-wide NH Bypass. The space in between the NH Bypass and service roads on either side of the stretch also can be added to the tarred carriageway of the bypass, hewing out 3.5-m space (the width of an additional lane) on each side. The NH Bypass caters to intra-city, inter- and intra-State vehicles, which include national permit, container, tipper and tanker Lorries. The vehicles are finding it extremely tough to negotiate through four-lane parts on the corridor. The lack of let-up in traffic flow has resulted in pedestrians having to risk their lives and cross the bypass and to resolve this, corrective steps will be taken to ensure their safety.
