Kochi Water Metro ferries could reach Infopark Phase-2 and Smart City if the Brahmapuram bridge is raised and a temporary bund on the Kadambrayar is relocated, The Hindu reports. Services currently end at Chittetukara in Kakkanad, leaving ferry users to take autos or buses to the IT hub and nearby destinations. Infopark employs around 70,000 people, many of whom face congestion on Civil Line Road and Seaport Airport Road. Kochi Water Metro Limited chief operating officer Sajan P. John backed the bridge and bund changes. Prathidhwani Kochi sought faster action, while Thrikkakara municipal standing committee chairman M.S. Anilkumar suggested building a terminal before the bridge instead of replacing it.
