The Avinashi Road Elevated Flyover[1] is a 10.1adj=midNaNadj=mid, four-lane, flyover under construction in the city of Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, India.[2] The corridor begins near the Uppilipalayam Flyover and ends near the Goldwins junction over the Avinashi Road, the most important arterial road in the city, bypassing over 12 traffic intersections. Upon completion, this would be the longest elevated corridor in Tamil Nadu, and the second longest in India after the P. V. Narasimha Rao Expressway.[3]
A 10.01km (06.22miles) long, 17.25m (56.59feet) wide elevated road project at a cost of 1,621 crore was proposed in 2019 to reduce traffic congestion in the congested Avinashi Road . The project was sanctioned in June 2020 when the Tamil Nadu Government gave its 'in principle' approval to the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) for the elevated expressway.[4]
The expressway starts near the eastern end of the Uppilipalayam Flyover and ends before the Goldwins Junction. It would run over the Avinashi Road, the most important arterial road in the city bypassing over 12 traffic intersections. There would be a total of four entry and exit ramps as part of the project.[5]
On the cost front, ₹300 crore will be the amount for land acquisition and ₹700 crore for the main bridge. Another ₹500 crore will be to reconstruct or widen some of the existing bridges on Avinashi Road, construction of service roads and improvement of junctions.
