Aroor-Thuravoor Elevated Highway Enters Final Stretch

28 Sep 2026 CW Team

Work on the Aroor-Thuravoor elevated highway in Kerala has entered its final stretch, three years after construction began. The Rs. 22 bn corridor, being built as part of the widening of NH 66, is the country’s longest single-pillar elevated highway project and is intended to address persistent congestion between Aroor and Thuravoor.

Ashok Buildcon, which is executing the project for the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), has completed more than 95 per cent of the work. Construction of the entry point at Aroor is scheduled to be completed within two months, while the first stretch is expected to be finished and handed over to the NHAI before December.

Originally planned as a 12.75 km corridor, the six-lane highway was extended to 13.24 km to include the section from Thuravoor junction to Alakkaparambu. The extension added 210 m to the flyover and 280 m to the approach road. The additional work will take six months to complete and will increase the total number of pillars to 366.

Deck concreting of the final girders on the first stretch was completed on 14 September. The work between pillars 24 and 28 near AR Residency at Aroor made the entire first stretch a continuous elevated highway. Installation of girders and deck concreting had been delayed by the shifting and raising of 110-kV power-transmission lines, but the obstruction was removed after the lines were elevated in the first week of August.

The elevated corridor is expected to ease congestion on the existing Aroor-Thuravoor section, where journeys can take hours during peak periods. Residents and local officials said the project should reduce travel time, fuel consumption and accident risks, while providing relief to long-distance commuters and freight operators travelling towards Thuravoor and Ernakulam. The additional section will be completed separately after the main stretch is handed over.
