Good news that the land required for a 10-metre-wide carriageway and one-metre-wide road shoulders has already been acquired. Junctions will be widened, bus bays built, and street lights installed. It seems that the construction will finish in a reasonable time.

Did you know that the road provides connectivity to Sabarimala pilgrims. An upfront payment during the 2.5-year construction period will enable bidders to reduce annuity quotes. The World Bank is expected to provide $30.50 million.

Yeah, i was there for the investors meet and i heard that while addressing the delegates, Chief Secretary Jiji Thomson directed the officials concerned to fast-track work on road corridors and bridges. This should help quicken the pace of rad construction.

I read some where that the World Bank representatives have said that the state government should speed up road development works and ensure timely and adequate funds for the same, This seems like a serious warning to me.
