The NHAI has recently initiated the construction work on the Thanjavur-Madurai green field road project at an investment of ₹767 crore, said official sources, claiming that the project involves developing a new road between Thanjavur and Karaikudi via Pudukottai with a length of about 95 to 100 km and widening the existing 46-km two-lane road from Karaikudi to Melur into four lanes under the Bharatmala Pariyojana - I. The green-field project is expected to reduce the travel distance by 15 to 20 km as Union transport ministry has already accorded in principle approval for the proposed road, which will be an access-controlled stretch and the vehicular underpass will be provided for every 2.5 km en route. The Thanjavur-Karaikudi-Melur-Madurai road is expected to decongest the NH 45 as it would create alternative routes to Madurai, Tiruneveli, Ramanathapuram from Chennai, they claimed.
