Widening of NH-181 commences in Coimbatore

Officials of National Highway department have started widening a 3.7 km stretch from Mathampalayam to Karamadai on the Coimbatore - Mettupalayam highway (NH181). The stretch will be upgraded as a four-lane road at a cost of Rs 30 crore.

Officials of NH have discussed with an NGO to relocate old trees from the area. "Apart from trees, EB posts will also be relocated to facilitate road widening work. Once widened, motorists going to Nilgiris and Mysore can travel freely. Due to the congested two lane, many accidents took place in the spot. The work commenced in June and will be completed on May 2023," said an official of the National Highway.
