The flyover was planned to reduce traffic congestion in Ramanathapuram Road.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/coimbatore/after-4-years-nanjundapuram-flyover-opens-for-public-use/articleshow/44726158.cms|title=Nanjundapuram Road Flyover|publisher=The Times of India |accessdate=30 April 2021|archivedate=9 October 2014 }}</ref>

S.}}</ref> The 1 km long Nanjundapuram Railway link line became completely defunct and was dismantled soon after the [[Coimbatore North Junction railway station|Coimbatore North Junction]] – [[Irugur Junction railway station|Irugur Junction]] line was put to use. Restoration of this Nanjundapuram Railway link line will help plan circular suburban electric train track connecting major train stations in the suburban areas of [[Coimbatore]] like [[Mettupalayam, Coimbatore|Mettupalayam]], [[Irugur]] and [[Pollachi]] etc to ease growing peripheral traffic. Reopening this defunct Nanjundapuram Railway line & Station can benefit residents from [[Nanjundapuram]], [[Ramanathapuram, Coimbatore|Ramanathapuram]], Redfields, [[Puliakulam]], Sowripalayam, Udayampalayam, [[Singanallur, Coimbatore|Singanallur]], Varadarajapuram, Uppilipalayam and [[Ondipudur]] areas of the Coimbatore city for train connections to onward destinations.
