THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Oscar Fernandes said on Friday that in Kerala the difficulty in building National Highways that consume large space could be sorted out by building elevated highways. "The Central government has been mulling over such kind of road developments in states like Kerala, Goa and some other south-east states,” the minister told media persons on Friday.
In countries like China there are elevated roads. Vehicles with less weight could ply on such roads while other vehicles could use the normal road. The problem of space constraints could be solved thus, said Fernades.
When asked whether special consideration would be given to Kerala in the construction of narrow NH roads, the minister didn’t give any specific reply. “National Highway Authority has certain criteria for building high ways. They will put forward suggestions if they face any difficulty,” he said and added that discussions were going on those aspects.
