The proposal to construct a three tier over-bridge at Gandhipuram in the city is expected to undergo some changes from its initial proposal.
The district administration has called for a meeting on June 15 to finalise the basic design of the project after some opposition to the initial proposal. The latest objection has been lodged by Coimbatore MP PR Natarajan who has submitted a petition to district collector M Karunagaran on Friday, citing that underpasses have been a failure in the city as similar structures on Avinashi Road and Lanka Corner are constantly getting waterlogged during the rainy season, resulting in traffic congestion. He has also cited that if the underpass is scrapped from the design then the total cost of the project could be considerably reduced.
"There is no requirement for a three tier over-bridge and the project should be modified and made more viable and practical in design and execution," said PR Natarajan in his official petition.
