The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to resume soon vehicle movement on the main carriageway near Thennampalayam on NH 544.
An official of NHAI said a small stretch on the NH, which was made into a six-lane road a few years ago, remained closed for vehicles for almost two years now. With demand from the local people, the concessionaire is constructing a small vehicular under pass and a pedestrian under pass near Thennampalayam. The work got delayed during the spread of COVID-19. While one of the two passes is constructed fully, the other one will be completed in a month or so.
At present, vehicles are using the service road because of the works. The vehicles will be able to use the main road in a month or two, the official said.
