National Highway 66 Between Nanthoor Junction & Surathkal Gets A New Look: Check Out

March 4: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has undertaken extensive restoration works which has given a new look to National Highway 66 between Nanthoor Junction and Surathkal.

The 17-km stretch of four-lane NH 66 built under the Port Connectivity Project was filled with pot-holes and craters during and after the monsoon. Slow moving vehicles on the stretch that also connects the New Mangalore Port, had been causing frequent traffic snarls on the busy stretch of the highway that connects the northern and southern parts of the country.
The NHAI took up road restoration works starting with concreting of busy junctions, including Chokkabettu Junction, near Kulai.
NHAI has been giving a fresh coat of bitumen on the remaining stretches of the highway, between Baikampady and Kulur, between Kulur and Nanthoor and on other stretches.
