The proposed NH from Trichy to Tuticorin via Madurai is completed between Madurai & Tuticorin. But before converting the existing Madurai – Trichy route as highway, the proposal was changed for better.

A 4 track highway is being executed between Madurai and Trichy. The good news is most part of the route between Madurai and Melur will be completely new!. The existing Madurai – Melur (30 kms) stretch is well known for continuous turns and a notorius blind narrow turn at Therkku theru village. Accidents in this stretch is almost a daily occurence. This will certainly be one big relief.

The new track between Melur – Madurai ends at the existing ring road. This road is expected to be operation in 2007.

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.
