TIRUCHY: In what could come as a great relief to residents of Musiri and neighbouring villages, the NHAI is set to undertake a 26-km expansion project of the Musiri-Namakkal Highway until Valvelputhur.
Used as a primary route by all heavy vehicles plying from Bengaluru towards Tiruchy, the Namakkal Highway running alongside the Cauvery is also one of the most accident-prone roads in Tiruchy district. The road is finally set for a makeover with the NHAI proposing a project under its NH annual plan works for 2021-2022 and expand the current 7-m road into a 10-m road.
