TN launches Rs. 600-cr Tirupur-Dindigul road project

road project
The state highways authority of the local government is all set to launch Tirupur-Dindigul, one of its first road development projects under public-private partnership (PPP) at an investment of Rs. 600 crore. The conversion of Avinashipalayam-Oddanchattaram Road into four-lane is one of three pilot projects under PPP recently undertaken by the department. The 70.2km stretch is currently a two-lane road and is the most popular route connecting Coimbatore and Tirupur districts with the southern districts. While Avinashi-Avinashipalayam stretch was recently upgraded as national highways and has been widened, the state highways department has taken up the widening of the road between Tirupur district's Avinashipalayam and Dindigul's Oddanchattaram. Though the NHAI has undertaken the road development projects under PPP for a while, the state highways is now taking steps to undertake such kind of projects, said sources.
