From Kunnumpuram to NGO Quarters Junction in Kakkanad, road construction work is scheduled to begin by Kochi Metro Rail Ltd (KMRL). In order to improve traffic flow and allow non-motorized transport (NMT), the project intends to widen the stretch. Widening projects are being bid on as part of the planning for Metro’s Phase-II line, which will run from JLN Stadium to Infopark. The project include improving drainage infrastructure, building new sidewalks and renovating the ones that already exist.
