NHAI unveils ₹1,300-cr Aroor-Thuravur elevated highway

NHAI
NHAI is all set to start construction work on the six-lane 15-km-long Aroor-Thuravur stretch on the 220-km Kozhikode (Ramanattukara)- Thuravur stretch that the nodal agency has decided to build at an investment of ₹1,300 crore in Kerala. The proposal was mooted by the NHAI considering the high cost of land acquisition on the stretch, which is heavily built up on either side. The tender has been floated to prepare the DPR. The stretch is currently used by over 40,000 PCUs every day, and the number of vehicles is going up, for which at least a six-lane highway, flanked by service roads is needed. This will lessen commuting time from Kozhikode to Kochi from six hours to three hours. Besides, it will reduce accidents, fuel consumption, and pollution.
