Adding an immense segment in the modern-road infrastructure of Kerala, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari inaugurated and laid the foundation stone of 12 National Highway projects with a total length of 105 km, worth over ₹1464 Crore.
The inauguration occurred in the presence of Union MoS V. Muraleedharan, Kerala PWD Minister Shri. P. A. Mohammed Riyas, MP from Kasargod Shri Rajmohan Unnithan, MLAs, and Senior Officials in Kasargod, Kerala.
The proposed projects aim to enhance seamless connectivity between Tamil Nadu and Kerala, ensuring swift and trouble-free transportation. This initiative holds the promise of reducing overall transportation costs.
Furthermore, a focus on eliminating black spots on National Highways is anticipated to contribute to a significant decrease in road accidents.
The undertaking is poised to generate substantial employment opportunities, both directly and indirectly, fostering socio-economic growth in Kerala.
Additionally, the improved accessibility to Munnar is expected to boost tourism potential. At the same time, the construction of a high-level bridge will eliminate a 27 km detour during floods, streamlining travel and benefiting the export of key Kerala products.
