Construction of flyover in Coimbatore faces delays due to pending UGD line, power cables work
New Indian ExpressCOIMBATORE: The Saibaba Colony flyover construction by National Highways wing of the State Highways Department, which was in full swing, has hit a roadblock as the civic body and TNEB are yet to complete their share of works on Mettupalayam Road, which includes shifting of UGD pipelines and electricity wires, which are obstructing construction works. While digging the road to lay foundation for a pillar of the flyover, highways department officials accidentally damaged an old UGD pipeline running under the NH, which caused sewage from the broken pipeline to flow into the pit dug for the pillar’s foundation. Meanwhile, the Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited officials are yet to shift electricity wires to facilitate flyover construction works. With delays from both Coimbatore City Municipal Corporation and TNPDCL, highways department officials have raised concerns over delays in the project’s progress.
