The project, which began two months ago, involves widening the road to four lanes, installing safety barriers, and improving the overall infrastructure to ensure safer and smoother travel. This stretch of road, known for its sharp turns and steep gradients, has been a critical concern for commuters.
The enhancement plan includes the construction of retaining walls, proper drainage systems, and improved signage to guide drivers through the ghat section. NHAI?s efforts are expected to significantly reduce the risk of accidents and enhance the efficiency of vehicular movement in the region.
Local authorities and residents have welcomed this development, highlighting its potential to boost the region?s connectivity and safety. The project aligns with NHAI?s broader goal of upgrading national highways to meet modern safety standards and accommodate increasing traffic demands. Upon completion, the widened Thoppur Ghat Road will not only improve safety but also facilitate better economic activities by easing transportation in this key corridor.
