The State Highways Department has begun construction of the second stage of the Thuraiyur Bypass up to Athur Road in the town.
Under the second stage, the bypass will be built for a distance of 5.20 km from Perambalur Road Junction to Athur Road Junction.
The project will be executed by the Projects Wing of the Highways Department. Once complete, the bypass will become a semi-ring road around Thuraiyur, connecting important State highways.
