Road Development

GCDA has developed many key corridors with ROB s and Bridges in the city which are the development spine of the city. Innovative planning tools have been used for procuring land for implementing these road projects. Land were taken in possession free from the land owners in many projects by giving relaxation in development regulations or compensating by other methods. The arterial roads and neighbourhood roads that are developed by the Authority have now been the important feeder corridors in the city.

The Authority also has built the first bridge under BOT scheme (The new Mattancherry Bridge) in the state to link W. Island to Thoppumpady.
