DINDIGUL: A long-pending road-widening project on the crucial one-kilometre stretch between Observatory (Semmanmedu) and Rose Garden in Kodaikanal has finally inched forward, with work beginning only a few days ago despite the work order being issued in October 2024.
The Rs 2.80-crore project, taken up by the State Highways Department, aims to expand the narrow hill-road to a uniform 10 metres to ease constant traffic congestion along one of Kodaikanal’s busiest routes.
