Construction of Thalassery sea bridge, skywalk to begin in October
Work on the much-anticipated sea bridge and elevated walkway, aimed at giving Thalassery tourism an international facelift, will commence in October.
Speaker A.N. Shamseer, who inspected the site with officials, described the project as a major milestone in tourism development in the town.
The ₹31-crore project, funded by the Kerala Infrastructure Investment Fund Board (KIIFB) and executed by the Kerala Irrigation Infrastructure Development Corporation, will be built entirely with stainless steel, ensuring durability for over a century. Jindal Stainless is the project consultant.
Besides, ₹7 crore has been earmarked under the Nava Kerala Assembly initiative for beautification works from Centenary Park to Sea View Park. The project is expected to be completed within a year.
The blueprint for the elevated walkway project was reviewed at a meeting chaired by the Speaker. Municipal chairperson K.M. Jamunarani, vice chairman M.V. Jayarajan, councillors, senior officials, and project representatives were present.
