The State government will take up with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) the need to decongest the 16-km Edappally-Aroor NH 66 Bypass corridor, Minister for Public Works and Tourism P.A. Mohamed Riyas said here on Saturday.
He was responding to concerns about the busy but largely four-lane corridor which caters for inter-State, inter-district and intra-city motorists becoming a choking point when the Edappally-Guruvayur stretch located north of it was widened as a six-lane stretch and a 13-km elevated highway was built on the Aroor-Thuravur stretch located south of the NH Bypass, by 2025.
