The Karamana-Kaliyikkavila National Highway Development Action Council has urged the government to develop the proposed over-bridge and under-passage at Balaramapuram Junction to a width of 45 metres.
The council raised the demand in view of the problems that could be created with the stretches being developed to 30.2-metres width as per the existing plan.
This will render impossible the future plans to construct a traffic roundabout at the junction. In addition, the busy Balaramapuram junction will be further congested as per the current plan when the Vizhinjam seaport project becomes operational.
