The new Korappuzha bridge will be thrown open to traffic on February 17.
According to a release on Sunday, the bridge is expected to solve traffic jams on the Kozhikode-Kannur Road.
The old bridge, constructed in 1940 under the aegis of Gandhian K. Kelappan, was in a dilapidated state for long. As a huge sum had to be spent on its maintenance, the authorities decided to build a new bridge and the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) released funds for the purpose.
The new bridge was built by the Kerala Road Fund Board and the National Highway division of the Public Works Department. It is 12-metre-wide, has a 7.5-metre carriageway, and a 1.5 metre-wide footpath on both sides. There are 150-metre-long approach roads on both the banks of the river.

This forms the second critical component of the 120-mld Neyyar water supply project
The construction of a main transmission pipeline over a distance of 23.8 kilometres for sourcing drinking water from the Neyyar dam site to the capital city, which forms the second critical component of the 120-mld Neyyar water supply project, is expected to kick off in the near future.
The Kerala Water Authority (KWA) has awarded the work to Erode-based Annai Infra Developers and the two entities are expected to ink the formal agreement soon. The work involves the supply, laying, testing, and commissioning of a 1422-mm, mild steel, clear water gravity main from the 120-mld water treatment plant proposed at the Neyyar dam site to the ground-level storage reservoir (GLSR) of the KWA at PTP Nagar.
