Virudhunagar-Kanyakumari NH upgrade on anvil
The Project Director of NHAI, Madurai, K P S K Mathivanan, informed that work on overlaying the Virudhunagar - Kanyakumari four-lane national highway of 180-km length is likely to start very shortly. Milling could be planned for 1.5km a day whereas relaying could be carried out only for 1.2km a day. Similarly, work on studs, thermoplastic painting and road furniture has also been planned on the highway stretch. NHAI has targeted planting 583 trees for every one km to improve the green cover along the national highway. But this is subject to the availability of vacant places as there is no plan to plant trees on the median. Sector watchers have exhorted NHAI and the contractors concerned that they should make the most out of the night curfew and other restrictions on the movement of vehicles to expedite and complete relaying work at the earliest.
