The Edakochi Kannangatt Bridge links Kannangat to the [[Indian Maritime University]] junction on NH 966B (Kundanoor Willingdon Highway). It was constructed by the Kerala Public Works Department.

The Edakochi Kannangat Willingdon Island Bridge was opened to the public in September 2017 by the Minister of Works, [[G. Sudhakaran]], bringing the city closer to the [[Thevara]] and Kundanoor regions.

The first church is believed to have been built around the time of the departure of [[Saint Thomas Christians]] from Cranganore ([[Kodungallur]]). At that time, Cranganore had three important centers: [[Mattancherry]], [[Mundamveli]], and Edakochi. There seems to have been a church at Edakochi since the 9th century, as there were at Mattancherry and Mundamveli. This ancient church was dedicated to "The Three Kings".<ref name=":0" />
