Trichy floats tenders for road upgrade

four lane highway project
In order to decongest the Karur bypass road, the Trichy civic body has floated a tender inviting bidders to take up the ₹7.75 crore project to expand the narrow two-lane road into four-lanes. The project has been taken up under Infrastructure Gap Filling Fund (IGFF) and plans to provide a bicycle track, pedestrian platform and adequate space for on-street car parking on either side of the arterial road, said Commissioner N Ravichandran.

The civic body has already evicted encroachments on the stretch. The width of the Karur bypass road will be doubled after completion of the project and a median would come up on the stretch to enable LED lamps.
