Airport Travellers Hit as Unplanned Road Works Choke NH, MC Road

The New Indian Express Kochi

Journey in Thrissur-Athani section takes travellers over 3 hours, instead of the usual 1.5 hours

- EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @Kochi

UNPLANNED work in the Thrissur-Angamaly section of NH-544 and along the MC Road in Muvattupuzha town, have hit airport travellers the most as they are forced to spend long hours in traffic blocks, which upsets their travel schedules.

The same has resulted in a clamour for more train services, especially with the heavy rush anticipated during the upcoming Onam festival.

Monday was no different, as a serpentine queue of vehicles could be seen at Muringoor near Chalakudi and Amballur near the Paliyekkara toll plaza during the morning peak hour in both Thrissur and Ernakulam directions.

Additional police personnel were deployed at these key choke points as the cops diverted vehicles, except the heavy ones, to interior by-routes at least at three places.

Travellers rued that the journey in the Thrissur-Athani (airport) section still took them well over three hours, instead of the usual one-and-a-half hours.
