With construction of two-tier flyover work to begin in the stretch from Five Road Junction to New Bus Stand on the Omalur Main Road, the city traffic police have proposed to divert vehicles through Meyyanur Main Road from Sunday.
Currently, erection of pillar work is being carried out in the arterial roads in the city and traffic diversions were implemented at many points.
Buses from Railway Junction, Kurangu Chavadi pass through Five Road Junction to reach the bus stand. Erection of three pillars is in progress in the stretch from Five Road Junction to bus stand. With more pillar works to be started in the coming week, heavy vehicles heading to bus stand will be diverted through Meyyanur Main Road and Multiplex Theatre. But, vehicles from bus stand to Five Road Junction will not be blocked and ply as usual.
Officials said that encroachments on the Meyyanur Main Road would be evicted so that flow of vehicles is not disrupted. Also, traffic police personnel would be posted in the stretch for regulating vehicles.
The police said that encroachment of road space by unauthorised parking of vehicles, extension of shops consume much of the road space leaving little space for vehicles to move on. Hence, special drive would be carried out to remove the encroachments in the stretch, they added.
