Damaged stretch of road-Restoring

 



Damaged stretch of road in Coimbatore city to be restored by Saturday morning

Coimbatore Corporation will complete by Saturday morning the work to restore the damaged Perks School Arch Road.

The road, on which the Corporation was laying an underground sewer line, was damaged in Wednesday’s rain. It caved in at a few places, leaving some vehicles stuck.

 


Sources said heavy rain on Wednesday night inundated a vacant site adjacent to a four-metre deep trench the Corporation had dug on the road to lay a sewer line.

Rain water from the vacant site flowed into the trench and damaged the road. Though the civic body began the restoration work on Thursday morning to allow vehicle movement, a loose packing of the earth led to the surface caving in.
