Kochi: In a bid to solve the road congestion enroute Nedumbassery airport, the Cochin International Airport Limited (CIAL) has begun widening of the two-lane road from Athani to the international airport here.
If all goes well, the road widening work will be completed within a year. The existing two-lane road will pave way for a four-lane National Highway thus helping decongest the road. The construction work of the road alone is estimated to cost CIAL at least Rs 20 crore.
“The work has been in progress since January. If all goes well, we expect to complete the road work within a year. As per plan, the widened road will cover a distance of 5 km. The road on the way to the golf course will also be covered,” said A C K Nair, director, CIAL.
