Hi guys, Are the roads to munnar,thekkady and allepey still bad.My route for the weekend road trip goes like this http://goo.gl/maps/c8w9T. Thanks/Vinay |
The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) on Tuesday approved four-lane expressway road work on the Kerala Border-Kollegal section of National Highway-212 in Karnataka. It was approved under the National Highways Development Project (NHDP) Phase-IV on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer (BOT/DBFOT) basis in Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) mode of delivery. The cost of the road widening project is estimated at `588.49 crore, including `65 crore towards land acquisition, resettlement and rehabilitation. The total length of the road will be approximately 150 km. The project will reduce the time and cost of travel between Kozhikode and Kollegal. The National Highway-212 connects Kozhikode in Kerala to Kollegal in Karnataka and passes via major towns of Gundlupet, Nanjangud, Mysore and T-Narsipur in Karnataka. |

Thank you Govind , I am travelling this week end. BTW , is the railway station road " Aleppey clear now ? It was a very good road before and a time saver for long route commuters to avoid the traffic in Aleppy city. but the KWA(Kerala Water Authority) works made it pathetic. |

No it still remains horrible and pathetic. Only two wheelers and a few motorists going to the station is seen using that road. |

I'm not sure what they plan to achieve here. I mean, the KL/KA border-Gundlupet-Nanjangud-Mysore stretch improvement is certainly welcome, but beyond that (Mysore-T Narsipura-Kollegal)? I suppose central funds cannot be used for state roads so they ruled all other options out. |

The NH-212 (now NH766) is from Kozhikode to Kollegal, via Gundlupet, Nanjangud, Mysore, T Narsipura. Therefore, its perfectly correct to utilize NHAI funds to repair/improve the current NH212. Between Kollegal and Bangalore is part of another highway (NH209) - which is also tendered for improvements. |

I know all that. My question was specifically whether traffic volumes require four-laning the Mysore-Kollegal stretch of NH 212; mightn't it be better to utilize that money (plus a lot more) to either build an NH between Bangalore-Mysore (heh!), or four-lane NH 209 from Bangalore to Chamarajanagar instead? I am not contesting the plan to widen the Mysore-Gundlupet-Moolehole stretch of NH 212. |

The Bangalore-Mysore highway is a State-highway - there is a hearsay that the state government is planning to widen that road further. Widening the Mysore-Kollegal stretch might actually help to reduce a bit of Mysore-Bangalore highway as well - people might prefer avoiding Mysore directly. The last time I took a bus from Coimbatore to Mysore (Airavat), that bus had turned off at Chamrajnagar and took the route via T.Narsipura to come into Mysore avoiding the high traffic stretch through Nanjangud. I understand your logic, but I think the government has a different one. |
