Minister T. P. M. Mohideen Khan, who was representing Palayamkottai Assembly constituency, took the steps for constructing this ROB. Since the pillars to be erected on both sides of this bridge threatened private properties on both sides of the Palayamkottai – Kulavanigarpuram Railway Gate stretch, they obtained interim stay from the Madurai Bench of Madras High Court. “The proposed ‘Y’-shaped ROB will ensure unhindered movement of vehicles coming from Palayamkottai bus-stand to the new bus stand and Melapalayam and vice-versa even when the Kulavanigarpuram manned level crossing is closed. However, construction of two elevated bridges, two small bridges and 44 culverts is going on in this stretch. Hence, work on this stretch is also likely to start shortly.
