==Expansion==<br />
Being the major transit artery of Erode, it meets heavy [[traffic congestion]] due to increasing vehicular movements in the city. For easing the traffic congestion and a component of infrastructure expansion for Erode, the Government planned to widen this into four-lane by constructing additional bridge. The new bridge is being constructed in parallel to the existing one to convert the traffic in two-way manner.<ref>{{cite news<br />
