I have heard about this causeway some time back. Is it progressing? Or has it been abandoned on account of the recession?

2 weeks back news said that it will take 9 months of planning and 60 months of construction.

Now from my side you may add one year becuz of the current liquidity crisis an another 2 years usual delays due to "budgetary problems" and another 2 years as engineering was wrong.

So hopefully you may use it by 2019.

Modification and expansion of the North road is already in progress. The construction of the bridge is planned to start in 2009 and finished in 2013.
