The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has decided to begin the construction work within two months, bringing the proposed flyover to relieve the congested Enchakkal Junction along NH-66 one step closer to reality. The same tender will be called for next month. The estimate for the utilities moving at Enchakkal is under way, according to a senior NHAI official, and the tendering process has started. The proceedings are nearing their conclusion. To ensure that the work starts within two months, we anticipate calling the tender by the end of next month. The official stated that the flyover's final design was also finished. The Enchakkal flyover's Detailed Project Report (DPR) had been authorised in February by the NHAI's New Delhi headquarters. The four-lane flyover will feature nine spans, each 25 metres apart, according to the DPR. The Chackai flyover part marks the beginning of the flyover, and the Muttathara flyover section marks the beginning of the NH66 bypass. The public has long called for a flyover at Enchakkal Junction due to the region's severe traffic congestion. In addition to reducing congestion at the junction, the work on the $2,000,000,000 project is intended to promote easy vehicular entry into the city from Kovalam, Shankhumukham, and Vizhinjam. The intersection, which is on the congested Kazhakootam-Mukkola NH stretch, is where the routes from East Fort, Vallakadavu, Attakulangara, and Pettah-Enchakkal come together.The NHAI has previously suggested building an underpass there, but the concept was abandoned because to trader opposition. The Mukkola-Karode NH 66 is scheduled to open the following week. The state's first concrete highway, the 16.30-kilometer-long Mukkola-Karode NH66, is scheduled to open the following week. Since there are still some finishing touches, like painting, the date has not been decided. Last Saturday saw the completion of the highway. The NHAI had to repeatedly extend the deadline (May 31, 2021) even though the construction started in 2016. Commuters from north Kerala travelling to Tamil Nadu via Kanyakumari won't have to enter Thiruvananthapuram city once the motorway is open, saving them time.
