The proposal envisages turning the existing 2-lane between Rajapalayam and Shencottai into 4-lane
The announcement in the Union Budget about widening the existing 2-lane between Rajapalayam and Shencottai, part of the Thirumangalam – Kollam Highway, into 4-lane has agitated the farming community in the region. The existing busy and winding 2-lane between Rajapalayam and Shencottai with 13 to 20 meter width that causes frequent mishaps will become a 4-lane highway, as per the National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) proposal. The width of the road will be 45 meters while the width at the toll plaza will be 90 meters.
