State Roads department has suggested building a grade separator for 1.1 km from Gomathipuram to
Aavin cooperative office as well as widening the Aavin junction and Anna bus stand junctions in an
effort to relieve congestion on the Sivaganga main road. It will have a 17.25-meter-wide, four-way
road. Three congested crossroads, including Apollo Hospital Junction, Aavin Junction, and Anna bus
stand Junction, are located along the 2.5 kilometre Sivaganga main route that runs from
Gomathipuram to Anna bus stand junction. The Apollo crossroads near Melamadai is crowded with
city residents and commuters from Sivaganga who travel to the city via the outer ring road.
According to high department authorities, a grade divider will enable commuters from Sivaganga
avoid the city's gridlock. S Pandian, the Madurai West Assistant Divisional Engineer, stated: "A
proposal for the construction of a grade divider at an estimated cost of 160 crore has been sent for
administrative permission. In a month after it has been approved, a tender will be requested.鈥�
According to him, the remaining stretch of Sivaganga main road and Panagal Road will be enlarged
from 10 to 15 metres.
Gomathipuram local P Ganesh stated, 鈥淚 frequently take Sivaganga Main Road to reach my shop near
Aavin intersection. To go to my shop, I had to cross two traffic lights. Melamadai and Gomathipuram
inhabitants will benefit much if a bridge is built.鈥� According to him, the grade separator will provide
a long-term fix for ongoing traffic jams and one-way streets. In an effort to manage traffic between
Apollo junction and Aavin junction, police recently established a one-way path.
T Nageshwaran, a Sellur-based traffic campaigner, believes a flyover would be more effective. The
state government can build a flyover until Anna bus stand junction, skipping all three junctions, and
arms can be extended for every location, rather than building a grade divider at Apollo junction
alone. He claimed Panangal road between Aavin Junction and Anna Bus stop junction is narrower
than the Sivaganga road, thus a flyover will be more suitable than a grade separator. The narrower
Pangal road necessitates extensive property purchase.
