The North-South Golden Corridor of 4-lane Super Highway is coming to Madurai atlast! The work from Samayanallur to Virudhunagar is awarded as a single contract and works for bye-pass & bridges etc were started.
At Samayanallur it will start on the existing route. There will be a new bye-pass between Paravai (Dindigul NH Road) and Thoppur (Kanyakumari NH Road). The existing bye-pass road which developed as a shopping haven of Madurai South can heave a sigh of relief.
Work on a new bye-pass at Tirumangalam has started. Boards put up along the route indicates the work will be over by March 2008.

There is more talk about making Madurai as an IT hub. Hopefully, we”ll see some of them in reality in 2 years. The Madurai Corporation have identified a piece of land for Tidel Park. The location does not look ideal for peaceful programming. They’ve choosed & approved a piece of land (5 acres) sandwitched by Mattu Thavani integrated bus stand and the new Paddy wholesale market. Both have high potential for hustle & bustle.
Ironically, almost all other locations in outskirts of Madurai have almost idyllic surroundings and will make a great place for innovative brain storming. Perhaps, the Madurai Corporation have to find sufficient place within their Corporation boundary.
On the other side, the IT Park proposed by Madurai Kamaraj University will have a better location. It will be near the Madurai – Kochin highway & closer to the University. The place is certainly calmer. And the University has identified 125 acres of land.
The places near the ring road between Avaniapuram & Kappalur might also work well for IT Parks. It also have an added advantage of being closer to Airport. Right now, the isolated ring road is notorious for waylaying 2-wheeler riders at night. This can quickly change with increased traffic & activities along the road.
