By July 2024, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) expects to have completed the East Coast Road expansion projects in the districts of Mayiladuthurai and Karaikal.
National Highway-32, which uses East Coast Road to connect Chennai and Thoothukudi, is being widened by NHAI.
A 55-kilometer route between Kadavacherry and Vanjore is being expanded, at a cost of about Rs 2,661.75 crore. The project covers the districts of Cuddalore and Nagapattinam.
The agency is currently speeding up the project.
The project becomes more significant as a result of its essential contribution to enhancing communication between coastal regions and the ports of Chennai, Thoothukudi, and Karaikal.
