Restoration work will be taken up in the next few days on the Palakkarai Main Road, which had been dug up for laying underground sewer lines, sources in the Highways Department said on Thursday.
The poor condition of the road, following the execution of the UGD work, had triggered a road blockade by irate residents near Warehouse in the city on Wednesday.
According to Highways Department sources, the UGD work was completed five days ago and the road, which is under the maintenance of the department, will be restored within the next few days.
Sources said a proposal to relay the Thanjavur Main Road for a stretch of about 1.2 km from the Palpannai Junction towards Gandhi Market is expected to be sanctioned soon. The work would be taken up under the Comprehensive Road Infrastructure Development Programme.
The road has developed several potholes after the execution of the underground sewer line work, much to the inconvenience of motorists.
