NH 66 modernisation by 2025: Minister

The modernisation of National Highway 66 passing through Kerala would be completed by 2025 provided the work is not disrupted by COVID-19 or other problems, Minister for Public Works P.A. Mohamed Riyas informed the Assembly on Thursday.

A.K.M. Ashraf of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML) called the Minister's attention to the need to guarantee that highway development did not impede free movement of pedestrians.

The Minister said work was in full swing on 15 stretches. Preliminary activities were under way on six other stretches where the work had been awarded. A detailed project report for an elevated highway on the Aroor-Thuravur stretch was under preparation.
