The work on the Edappally railway overbridge is 45 days behind the original schedule.
As per the contract, the overbridge with 30 spans is to be completed within a 15-month period by installing two spans in a month. The contractor had originally agreed to complete the work by March 2009.
He has reportedly agreed to make up for the delay in August and to stick to the original schedule. The contractor has asked for an enhancement in the rate considering the cost escalation on account of the increase in prices of construction materials as also the labour cost. The Collector agreed to bring the demand to the notice of the government.
