The Munnar-Bodimettu stretch of the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway (NH85) and the new bridge at Cheruthoni across the Periyar downstream of the Idukki reservoir will be inaugurated on January 5.
According to National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) officials, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari will inaugurate the road and bridge at a function in Munnar. The inaugurations were postponed multiple times earlier due to the unavailability of the Union Minister.
According to NHAI officials, all works related to the 41-kilometer-long Munnar-Bodimettu stretch of the Kochi-Dhanushkodi National Highway have been completed.
