Approval to make Markkanam-Puducherry Highway 4 lane
On the other hand, the government on Friday approved the project to make a 4-lane Markkanam-Puducherry National Highway in Tamil Nadu, which is a total cost of Rs 2,157 crore. This decision was taken in the meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs under the chairmanship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Currently, contact between Chennai, Puducherry Wiluppuram and Nagapattinam is dependent on the existing 2-lane National Highway 332A and the respective state highways. This causes a lot of difficulty in traffic. To resolve these challenges, the project will upgrade about 46 km long NH-332A from Marknam to Puducherry to 4-lane. This will reduce congestion on the existing road. Security will improve and will meet the dynamic needs of rapidly growing cities like Chennai, Puducherry Wiluppuram and Nagapattinam. Apart from this, 4 lanes will increase two railway stations (Puducherry, Chinnababusamudram), two airports (Chennai, Puducherry) and a small port (Puducherry) and a small port (Kudalore) and enhance the multi-minded area, which will enhance the multi-minded area, which will enhance the full area and the entire area. Fast movement of passengers will be possible.
