To ensure a hassle-free and smooth flow of traffic on the 16-km-long Edappally-Aroor NH bypass stretch, NHAI has planned to widen the congested stretch into a six-lane corridor. NHAI will soon name a design consultant to prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for the project as part of the development of the entire Kozhikode-Edappally-Aroor stretch of NH 66 into a six-lane highway. The NH Bypass has an average width of 45 meters, wherein it hopes to accommodate all necessary infra for fast and safe commuting. The NHAI head office has been apprised of the need to widen four-lane portions on the stretch into six-lane since the daily passenger car units crossed the 60,000 figure which necessitates an eight-lane corridor. The 45-meter-wide stretch does not need an elevated NH at present, unlike the Aroor Thuravur stretch having 30-meter width where an elevated corridor has been mooted. The DPR for the elevated corridor south of Aroor is in its final stage. As of now, the operation, maintenance and tolling (OMT) contractor of the Edappally-Aroor stretch is being given notice whenever required, to rectify problems cited by members of the public.
