3.8-km walkway to connect various facilities in city
Will the 3.8-km covered skywalk aimed at hassle-free movement of pedestrians and connecting the Secretariat, KSRTC bus terminal and Central railway station make it to the Budget as the alignment has been finalised?
With the 4 to 5-m wide skywalk being listed as a priority project by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan in his interactions, votaries of the project hope that Finance Minister T.M. Thomas Isaac will help decongest the arterial road by allocating funds for the project.
Arkitechno Consultants (India) Private Limited, which had won the bid floated by the Kerala State Transport Project (KSTP) for the Public Works Department (PWD) for preparing the DPR, is busy preparing the pre-feasibility report. For the consultant, the challenge is to complete the DPR before the April 2021 deadline.
