Four-lane roads with median were laid connected some banks of Vaigai stream with the sole nonsubjective of decongesting vehicular question connected arterial roads successful Madurai city.
Over the years, these roads had been extended, obstruction implicit span constructed astatine Thathaneri and missing nexus successful Sellur had been laid to optimise their purpose.
However, arsenic much vehicles started to usage these roads, the postulation snarls person present shifted to the Vaigai River North Bank Road adjacent Thathaneri.
The four-road junction connecting Vaigai River North Bank Road and Jayalalithaa Bridge (across Vaigai stream adjacent Arapalayam) and Thathaneri Main Road has go a large bottleneck, not conscionable during highest hours, but besides otherwise.
“After the postulation awesome connected Bypass Road adjacent Arapalayam was removed with caller postulation arrangement, much vehicles person started to usage the Vaigai River North Bank Road from northbound parts of Madurai metropolis to spell to Kalavasal and to scope Tirunelveli-Dindigul highway,” said an authoritative from Madurai City Traffic Police.
The measurement of postulation from Sellur towards Arapalayam and vice-versa has accrued manifold.
“This junction connected Vaigai River North Bank Road and Jayalalithaa Bridge has not been designed to instrumentality specified a measurement of traffic,” helium added.
As a result, vehicles get piled up connected the full agelong of the stream span and for astir portion of the one-km-long Vaigai River North Bank Road betwixt the ROB astatine Sellur and the junction.
With this agelong being portion of large autobus route, the constrictive span adds to the congestion arsenic drivers find it hard to negociate a crisp near crook towards the span arsenic vehicles halting connected span artifact the mode for the bus.
Similarly, vehicles coming from Arapalayam besides conflict to instrumentality escaped near crook astatine the junction towards Dindigul Bypass Road.
While postulation policeman modulate the postulation travel during highest hours, their lack during remainder of the time causes a huffy contention among the roadworthy users to transverse the junction.
The entranceway of the span requires contiguous engineering alteration to alteration creaseless near turns for dense vehicles.
Similarly, the sprawling abstraction astatine the junction, including the 50-metre strech of roadworthy linking it with Thathaneri Main Road, could beryllium converted into postulation roundabout to modulate travel of postulation connected the four-road junction.
“This volition forestall vehicles from antithetic sides cutting into travel of postulation from other sides,” the authoritative added.
