Government of Tamil Nadu, realising the need to extend the benefits of development to the villages of Tamil Nadu, decided to select the stretches of roads in 23 corridors for widening and strengthening to two lanes. This project aims to bring about all-round development with road infrastructure as base. It has been decided to take up this project in Phases. Earlier,
the East Coast Road from Chennai to Cuddalore for
166 Km via Pondicherry was improved to two
lane facility with Asian Development Bank loan of
US $ 24.47 Million in 1993 - 1998. This resulted
in benefits to the people in the coastal
region. This project is a part of East Coast Road
from Chennai to Kanyakumari for 732 Km. Hence
coastal road from Nagapattinam to Tuticorin has been
selected as Phase I. The other corridors have
been selected in Phase IA and Phase IB to give equal
importance to roads in different regions. |
