CoRWA summit to discuss NH 66 bypass woes, delay in Kochi metro’s Kakkanad extension

At a recent CoRWA summit, officials warned that the 17‑km Edappally‑Aroor bypass could turn into a traffic choke point once the National Highways Authority finishes six‑laning the remaining NH 66 sections by 2028. The expected surge from the new 10‑lane Thuravoor‑Aroor stretch may worsen congestion, while the planned extension of Kochi’s metro to Kakkanad remains delayed.
