The two main hurdles that is delaying the project is the construction of an approach ramp to the international airport at Chackai and a bridge across the Tettiyar, near Infosys campus. \u00a0Meanwhile, NHAI is yet to finalize the design of the construction of an elevated highway from Kazhakoottam to Technopark, which was proposed last year when the work began.<\/p>\n<p>The demolition of the existing ramp and the construction of a new one is stuck as NHAI and Airports Authority of India (AAI) are yet to agree on the design. It is reported that AAI is not pleased with the gradient (steepness) fixed by the NHAI for the ramp. AAI have asked NHAI to raise the level of service road so as to reduce the gradient. However NHAI sources said they could not do that because of the non-availability of land within the airport campus.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>NHAI is yet to finalize the design of the construction of an elevated highway from Kazhakoottam to Technopark, which was proposed last year<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Coming to Tettiyar Bridge District collector Biju Prabhakar had issued a stop memo to the construction of the bridge on June 7.
