The National Highway 85 stretch from Karingachira to Thiruvankulam will be widened to 14 metres, according to the latest plan for the road corridor. The move is aimed at easing traffic and improving movement along the busy route.
A key part of the project is the Thiruvankulam Junction, where a bottleneck has caused traffic delays. Officials plan to create a 20-metre-wide roundabout at the junction to allow free left turns and smoother traffic flow.
Steps will also be taken to construct the Chitrapuzha-Mamala Bund Road, as part of efforts to improve connectivity in the area. Further details on the timeline and execution of the works were not specified in the input.
