Pattabiram residents demand limited-use subway beneath ROB
Residents of Pattabiram are calling for a limited-use subway beneath the Rail Over Bridge (ROB) to facilitate safe crossing for pedestrians and small vehicles. Currently, the flyover does not accommodate slow-moving traffic, forcing many to navigate dangerous conditions beneath the bridge. Activists argue that the lack of staircases and proper access for individuals with disabilities exacerbates the issue, especially with the upcoming academic year.
- ▪The 780-metre-long flyover opened one carriageway to traffic in September 2024.
- ▪Residents have expressed concerns about the safety of pedestrians and cyclists crossing the tracks.
- ▪Activists are advocating for the construction of a limited-use subway to improve accessibility.
