THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The under-construction NH 66 bypass from Kazhakoottam to Karode on the Kerala-Tamil Nadu border is slated to become a major artery in the district. It has to be noted that no other highway in the state is so close to an airport, upcoming seaport, city centre, star hotels and an IT park.
According to National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) officials, 96 per cent work of the project’s first phase comprising the 26-km Kazhakoottam- Mukkola stretch has been completed. They said the major work remaining is the Chackai flyover.
