Acute traffic congestion and accidents have been the order of the day on the stretch
The feasibility report on widening the congested 16-km Edappally-Aroor NH Bypass on NH 66 into a six-lane corridor is expected to be ready by December.
A consultancy firm, which was appointed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to ready a detailed project report (DPR), is readying the feasibility report. The firm will suggest ways to add one more lane in four-lane portions by redesigning components of the 45-metre-wide NH Bypass, like vacant space on service roads, which can be added to the main carriageway, sources said.
A detailed software-aided survey is being carried out as part of the feasibility study. The firm has submitted an inception report to the NHAI. Land acquisition, if needed, will be minimal, since clearing of encroachments will in itself increase the width of service roads in most areas, they added.
