The five roads included Chennai - Tada road - NH 5, Karaikudi-Ramanathapuram road - NH 210, Sethiyathoppu-Cholapuram and Cholapuram-Thanjavur (NH 45C) and Oddanchatram bypass road - NH 83, respectively. The NHAI has allotted Rs.475 crore to complete the widening of 33-km-long Chennai-Tada stretch into six lanes, which has been delayed for nearly two years, while the 80-km-long Karaikudi-Ramanathapuram widening into two lanes has received Rs.653 crore. And, the widening of the Oddanchatram bypass road - NH 83 has been sanctioned Rs.249 crore. Sources said that the three widening works are to be carried out under engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) model.
