'''Edappally flyover''' is a [[overpass|flyover]] in the city of [[Kochi]] in [[Kerala]], India. It starts from [[National Highway 66 (India)|NH 66]] at [[Lulu International Shopping Mall, Kochi|Lulu Mall]] and ends at Edappally church on the [[Edappally]]- [[Palarivattom]] road. It was constructed as a part of the [[Kochi Metro]] works to decongest the Edappally junction where the two [[National highways of India|national highways]] meets. The flyover was opened to public in September 2016.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Edappally to have two more flyovers |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/edappally-to-have-two-more-flyovers/article38304535.ece |access-date=2023-07-11 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref><br />

In June 2013, the foundation stone was laid for the construction of a flyover across Edappally. It was supposed to completed in 20 months. But due to adverse weather and other factors including quarry strike, the project was delayed for more than a year, also missing a couple of deadlines. The flyover was constructed as part of the [[Kochi Metro]] works by [[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]].<ref>{{Cite news |title=Edappally flyover to be opened on Sunday |language=en-IN |work=The Hindu |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/Edappally-flyover-to-be-opened-on-Sunday/article14628293.ece |access-date=2023-07-11 |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> The project with a total expenditure of the ₹78 crores, including the ₹30 crores spent for properly rehabilitating was opened to public on 12 September 2016. The total length of the flyover is 433 meters. It consists of two independent carriageways on each side of the Metro Rail viaduct. The Edappally junction was also converted into pedestrian-friendly by constructing footpaths on both sides of the roads.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Edappally flyover opened to public - The New Indian Express |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/kochi/2016/sep/12/Edappally-flyover-opened-to-public-1518346.amp |access-date=2023-07-11 |website=www.newindianexpress.com}}</ref><br />
