Codissia Urges Expressway Expansion for Coimbatore Bypass
Imagine a busy road in Coimbatore, India, that helps people get to different places.
Right now, part of this road is only two lanes, which causes traffic jams and accidents.
A group called Codissia wants the government to make this road bigger, with six lanes, so more cars can travel safely and quickly.
They want to add extra lanes and make sure there are special roads on the sides, making it easier to get to different places.
Making this road better will help the people of Coimbatore and those traveling from other areas.
Codissia urged the Union road transport and highways ministry to expand the Neelambur bypass.
The request is to upgrade the two-lane stretch into a six-lane expressway with service roads.
The association also sought construction of flyovers at key intersections.
Coimbatore contributed Rs2 lakh crore to Tamil Nadu's gross state domestic product last year.
The current 27km stretch is dangerous with frequent accidents.
