Perumbalam bridges project The residents of Perumbalam Island in Vembanad Lake are awaiting administrative sanction to the Rs.160-crore project, proposed by the Public Works Department (PWD), for a series of bridges connecting the island with Poothotta in Ernakulam district and Panavally in Alappuzha district. The PWD conducted a survey in January for the proposed bridges that will provide road connection to the island with the main land. The Assistant Executive Engineer (Roads Subdivision), PWD, who conducted the survey, submitted the report to the Government. If the proposal gets administrative sanction, the long wait of the residents of this island for better road connectivity is bound to end. The project includes a 225-metre-long bridge from Pathrakkadavu at Poothotta Jetty to Vattavayalthuruthu, an island near Perumbalam Island; a 750 m bridge from Vattavayal island to Vattukadu in Perumbalam Island and a 1,600 m bridge connecting Perumbalam Jetty to Panavally Jetty in Alappuzh
