The project was sanctioned in 2022.Mr. Durai Vaiko also disclosed that the second stage of the flyover coming up near the Tiruchi Railway Junction would be completed by December as the pre-fabricated bow string bridge has been moved into position by the Railways recently.The ROB coming up near the Fort Railway Station would be completed by October and the one being built across the Koraiyar near Edamalaipattipudur is likely to ready by January 2027, he said.
