A BJP Member of Parliament and a Malayalam film actor have instructed that all gates at the Paliyekkara toll plaza in Thrissur be opened. The directive came after concerns over traffic congestion and delays during peak hours and was announced by local authorities on Thursday.
The toll plaza, located on the NH 47 corridor, has long been a bottleneck for commuters traveling between Thrissur and neighboring districts. By keeping the gates open, officials hope to ease the flow of vehicles and reduce waiting times, aligning with the government’s push to improve road infrastructure in Kerala.
Local transport operators have welcomed the change, noting that it will benefit both private and public transport. Authorities will monitor traffic patterns and may adjust the gates again if necessary, with no immediate cost implications disclosed.
