Road traffic issues in two major towns in Malappuram are all set to be resolved soon. The ROB at Parappanangadi will be thrown open for traffic on June 8. On the same day, the foundation stone will be laid for the rail overbridge (ROB)

at Angadippuram on NH 213. The construction of the bridge at Parappanangadi began in June, 2010 and the Roads and Bridges Development Corporation (RBDC) had planned to complete the work within 14 months. But the works was delayed mainly due to technical issues regarding receiving permission for the works from the Railways. Land acquisition for the ROB at Angadippuram was also delayed while it waited for technical sanction from the Railways.

The seven metre wide Parappanangadi overbridge has a total length of 565 metres and has been constructed at an estimated cost of 13.5 crore. The bridge is expected to resolve traffic congestion, which is a major issue that has plagued travelers since the Chamravatton Regulator-Cum-Bridge was opened. The traffic woes of Angadippuram town is also expected to be resolved once the ROB turns into a reality. The estimated cost of the two-lane ROB is Rs 12 crore and the work will be completed using funds from the state government.
