GD Naidu flyover in Coimbatore city remains incomplete with pending ramp work
The GD Naidu flyover in Coimbatore remains incomplete due to a legal dispute over the relocation of support pillars. The Madras High Court has ordered the demolition of modified pillars, but the state government's pending appeal has left the project in limbo, causing ongoing traffic congestion.
Why it matters
This highlights the impact of bureaucratic and legal delays on critical public infrastructure projects, directly affecting urban mobility and public convenience.
An up ramp of the GD Naidu flyover in Coimbatore city remains incomplete resulting in traffic congestions at Uppilipalayam.
J. Sathish, director of Kongu Global Forum, said several vehicles coming from Trichy Road or Gandhipuram need not go to Uppilipalayam to take the Avinashi Road flyover if the ramp near Anna Statue junction is completed. “The incomplete works are proving to be counter-productive and the ramp is not serving its intended purpose,” he said.
Secretary of the Coimbatore Consumer Cause K. Kathirmathiyon said the flyover presently has an up ramp near Peelamedu and the up ramp proposed near Anna Statue has not been constructed.
