₹1.09 crore sanctioned for relaying another stretch on Dindigul highway
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded the tender for relaying a badly damaged stretch of about 1.40 km between Andhanallur and Thindukarai on Tiruchi-Karur Highway, addressing a long-felt concern of motorists.
Residents in the city suburbs and motorists have been sore over the condition of the road and another short stretch on Tiruchi-Dindigul Highway on the outskirts of the city being left uncared for the past few years. Even though both highways have been strengthened and widened by NHAI and the city stretch by the State Highways, the short stretches have not been relaid as the proposed bypass road connecting Tiruchi-Madurai and Tiruchi-Karur national highways is to run across them. However, the stretches have remained unattended for years together as there has been a prolonged delay in building the bypass road.
