Although by 2026 the national corridors on the highway 66 were being prepared by 2026 at both ends of the bypass Edappally-Aroor NH, the Indian National Highway Authority (NHAI) expressed the inability to take over from the NH Wing Department (NH Wing).
The approach with the sister overpasses that were listed in 2021 are settled (sinking) and PWD should lift and restore them before passing Nhai, with regard to the safety of motorists using structures, reported official sources, quoting the reason NHAI, which does not apply two.

Also, the neighboring expansion joints of the diving parts must be repaired to prevent motorists from getting into the entrance and leaving the overpasses that were built to be created to build two narrow intersections on the bypass Edapally-Aroor NH. These two are one of the main reasons for the unwillingness of Nhai to take over the overhangs despite their three -year period of liability for defects in 2024.
On the basis of its part, Vikasana Samithi points to safety problems in the form of inadequate/zero street lighting about the overpass access from the Palaraivattom side, resulting in exceeding speed motorists to assess access to three -storey passage and two steep service roads. This often results in an accident, including vehicles that thrust the barrier of overpass.
It is also found that PWD wants to not reduce the extent of the medians and a massive roundabout under the pricks and Kunnandur overpasses, despite the multiple decisions taken in this respect since 2021.
It states that the approach to the range of overpasses and the overhrowth in Kochi encounters the issue of sinking/depositing due to predominantly clay soil in the region, higher PWD officials said that this aspect would not mention in the 1 GBP project, which PWD (NH) submitted two years ago two years ago. “There is no structural problem yet. Administrative sanctions have not been awarded for this project, which aimed to reflect a large part of massive medians and a roundabout under the overpass to prevent the possession of traffic and tar,” they added.
