Traffic jam continues at Kalavasal junction despite flyover
Despite the construction of a flyover at the Kalavasal junction, traffic congestion persists due to poor enforcement and improper vehicle management. Local commuters and drivers suggest that minor adjustments to traffic flow and bus stop locations could alleviate the bottleneck.
Why it matters
Addresses urban infrastructure challenges and the gap between engineering solutions and actual traffic management.
For long, Kalavasal junction has been known of traffic congestion.
However, even after the construction of a massive flyover to ease the bottleneck, smooth vehicular movement has been left much to be desired.
These days, traffic congestion is basically due to lack of proper enforcement.
All vehicles use the flyover for crossing the junction from one side to other side of Dindigul by-pass road. This goes on uninterrupted.
However, those vehicles proceeding from Dindigul By-pass road towards Theni Road or vice-versa cause all the trouble.
Especially, the buses, including mofussil ones, proceeding towards Kochadai/ Achchampathu are halted right at the edge of the entrance of Mudakku Salai Road at the junction.
