Fortunately, the Kazhakkoottam-Mukkola NH By-Pass widening project is expected to begin by the end of this month. The road which will be developed with a width of 45-metre will give a major relief for the city as it would carry the heavy traffic to and from Vizhinjam, without choking the city. The Karamana-Kaliyikkavila widening which is also going on in a fast pace will allow vehicles from Tamil Nadu such inter-state buses and lorries to pass through the city without getting stuck in traffic.\u00a0 Construction of both roads is expected to be completed in 24 to 36 months, ahead of the scheduled completion of the port project.<\/p>\n

If all the road infrastructure projects completes on time it will ensure hassle-free traffic within the city when the Vizhinjam Port gets completed. Still, delay in widening of NH from Kazhakkoottam to Cherthala will remain a concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
