Ukkadam Flyover also known as Ukkadam-Aathupalam flyover is a 2.5 km long flyover under construction in the city of Coimbatore.[1]

Background

The foundation stone for the flyover was laid in 2019. The flyover is designed to ease the traffic congestion caused in Ukkadam and Aathupalam junctions.[2]

Planning

The flyover begins at the western end of Oppanakara Street near the Ukkadam signal and proceeds towards Aathupalam junction via Karumbukadai and will bifurcate into two branches- one on the Pollachi Road and Palakkad Road. The flyover will have an exit and entry ramp on the Sungam bypass road.[2] [3]
