Kochi: National Highways Authority will take up the eight lane Angamaly-Aroor greenfield bypass project to decongest Angamaly-Edappally-Kundanoor stretch of NH 66.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has decided to put the 14.64-km-long Edappally-Aroor six-lane elevated highway project on hold, Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari informed the Lok Sabha, the New Indian Express reported.
