Coimbatore Residents Demand Swift Completion of Vilankurichi Road Repairs

Coimbatore, December 8, 2025 – Residents of Coimbatore are increasingly frustrated by the prolonged disruption and hazardous conditions caused by ongoing underground drainage work and subsequent road repairs along Vilankurichi Road and surrounding interior streets. For over two years, sections of roads in Cheran Ma Nagar, Mahalakshmi Garden, Mounsamy Nagar, Jeeva Nagar, and Subramaniam Avenue have been partially re-laid or left in disrepair following drainage installation, creating safety concerns for drivers.

“Every day we have to drive carefully to avoid accidents,” said Paul Vasanth, a resident of Mahalakshmi Garden. S. Sethu, another resident, highlighted the danger posed by heavy vehicles using the dug-up road to access Avinashi Road, a major thoroughfare.

Coimbatore Corporation officials assured residents that pipe-laying work on interior roads is complete. Work on the 1.3-kilometer stretch of Vilankurichi Road, involving the installation of a new pipeline, is being carried out in phases at night to minimize traffic disruptions. Officials say only 180 meters of the pipeline needs to be laid before the road can be reconstructed with fresh concrete and a tar layer. The corporation estimates the entire project will be completed within a month.

Approximately 70% of interior roads in Wards 22, 24, and 29, which border Vilankurichi Road, have already been finished. A separate proposal for the remaining work has been submitted and is awaiting approval from the state government. Officials added that main internal roads are mostly complete, with only branch lanes remaining.

The ongoing roadwork has significantly impacted the daily lives of Coimbatore residents, who are urging the Corporation to expedite the project and restore safe and passable roads.
