State Highways opens ₹20.81-crore ROB in Tirupattur

The State Highways department inaugurated a ₹20.81-crore road overbridge (ROB) in Panchur village near Jolarpet town in Tirupattur, replacing a manned railway level crossing (LC 95). The project, originally approved in 2020, was completed through collaboration between the Southern Railway and the State Highways' Projects wing, with funding from the Union Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. The new two-lane bridge, measuring 593.89 meters in length and 7.5 meters in width, includes LED streetlights, tiled footpaths with steel handrails, staircases to the railway station, and approach roads extending 300 meters on either side. The facility was delayed due to the Model Code of Conduct during Assembly polls and pending state government approval, but was made operational without a formal opening to address ongoing safety concerns for motorists.
