Kerala National Highway
As part of catering to the emerging requirement, the state government in Kerala has recently declared a length of 334 km of road corridor stretches into NHs. These stretches have already been given in-principle approval by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and they included 26-km Kannur- Mattannur road connecting the upcoming Kannur International Airport to Vizhinjam. The 45-km length that links an ambitious Vizhinjam International Multi-purpose Deepwater Seaport to the NH-66 bypass from Kazhakuttam to Karode in Tamil Nadu being built into four-lane and also the NH-66 Karamana- Kaliyikkavila road length. The 55-km from Kannur to Madikeri-Virajpet-Makutta is the longest corridor to make it to the NH network. There is also a plan for 50-km corridor of NH-766 near Kalpetta to connect Manathavady to H.D. Hote-Jayapura and terminating in Mysuru, also getting NH tag. The 30-km Alappuzha- Changanacherry stretch, the 18-km corridor from Changanacherry to Karukachal to Vazhoor on the NH-183 and the 25-km stretch from Pampa to Laha in Pathanamthitta district are also among other figured in the list.
