Metroman opposes Vyttila flyover design

Deccan Chronicle  

KOCHI: Delhi Metro Rail Corporation principal advisor E Sreedharan has come out against the current design of the Vyttila flyover which is being built now. In a letter to Kerala Sastra Sahitya Parishad office-bearer G. Gopinathan and Shameer Abdulla who had proposed alternative designs which do away with signals at the junction, the Metro Man has said that the current flyover won't solve the traffic problems at Vyttila and he had pointed out this to PWD secretary and the minister three months back. The letter from Mr Sreedharan to G. Sudhakaran said: “This is the busiest junction in Kochi with traffic converging from five different directions, the dominating direction being from the city towards Tripunithura. None of these traffic streams are getting any relief with the proposed fly over.” “In any traffic junction, from each road the traffic has to move in 3 different directions. This means Vytila junction has to handle traffic in 12 different directions, but the proposed fly over caters to only two directions, the remaining 10 directions getting no relief.
