The Trivandrum Residents Apex Council (TRAC) has urged the government to develop the Thiruvananthapuram- Kattakada- Kottoor- Ambasamudram- Tirunelveli road as a priority project to tap the socio economic and strategic benefits accruing from the connectivity.

Pointing out that Thiruvananthapuram was the only State capital to be left out of the National Highway Development Project (NHDP) network, a pressnote quoting TRAC secretary K.T. Roy said here on Tuesday that restoration of the now-defunct Kottoor- Ambasamudram road would enable connectivity between Thiruvananthapuram and Chennai by the shortest route.

The proposed road, it observed, would spur the development of backward areas in the eastern parts of south Kerala and south western Tamil Nadu and provide better connectivity for strategic institutions such as the Southern Air Command, VSSC, Koodankulam nuclear power plant, and the proposed Special Economic Zone in south Tamil Nadu.

The TRAC said it would also serve as the main evacuation route in the disaster management plan for the Koodankulam nuclear plant.

The restored road would make up for the exclusion of Thiruvananthapuram from the NHDP. Tamil Nadu had initiated development of the new road on its side up to the State boundary. Mr. Roy said the construction of a tunnel for two-way traffic would help to overcome the impediment caused by the forests on the Kerala side. The additional expenditure could be offset by the savings on fuel.

“The new road would be of direct benefit for the southern districts of Kerala which depend on Tamil Nadu for agricultural produce. It would reduce the distance between Tirunelveli and Thiruvananthapuram by half, provide connectivity between the Tuticorin port and the container transshipment terminal at Vizhinjam, and link the east and west coasts.”

The TRAC called upon the government to convene a meeting of officials of the Union and State governments and people's representatives from the areas coming under the project to formulate an action plan for implementation.

Dear Friends

Let this road start from say Thiruvallom-Pappanamcode-malayinkizhu-Kattakada- Kottoor- Ambasamudram- Tirunelveli

Since pappancode has KSRTC Depot which can be developed into an Bus terminus for long route service, from Pappanamcode vehicle can proceed to d new Chaka Bus terminus/Trivandrum Intl airport via Thiruvallom, byepassing Trivandrum city.

From thiruvallom jn one can take to Vizhinjam ,Kovalam and Airport.

A 60-km inner orbital road corridor linking Mangalapuram, Pothencode, Powdikonam, Vazhayila, Vattiyoorkavu, Peyad, Malayinkeezhu, and Vizhinjam has been mooted for the district to promote balanced development and to decongest the capital city.

Vehicular traffic in Thiruvananthapuram region has increased rapidly with more people using private vehicles. Traffic experts say that traffic congestion is no longer restricted to ‘peak hours'; it is there all day.

An analysis shows that the development of a radial-cum-orbital network of roads for Thiruvananthapuram will be ideal. Former director of NATPAC and architect of the ongoing City Road Improvement Programme (CRIP) N.S. Srinivasan says a network of three orbital roads and radial roads will improve the connectivity of regional nodal centres with Thiruvananthapuram and amongst themselves. These road corridors will also act as “development corridors”.

The last two decades saw an urban sprawl developing in the capital. The city expanded beyond the administrative boundary. It does not function in isolation anymore and it is functionally related to peripheral areas. In the Thiruvananthapuram Capital Region, the ‘mother city' and the satellite towns — Neyyattinkara (including Balaramapuram), Nedumangad (including Karakulam), Attingal and Varkala — are almost equidistant, and for such a setting proper linkages are vital.

Dr. Srinivasan says such a development would help to retain the present pattern of distribution of human settlement with rural-urban continuum. Moreover, there is an urgent need to halt further congestion in the city core and to evolve planning solutions at regional level.

Land acquisition

He wants the government to take up the proposed 60-km corridor on a priority basis as land can be acquired adjacent to this road and developed for residential, employment and commercial purposes. Development of a land bank will also be useful. As the cost of land in the mid-region is reasonably low, this proposal is likely to attract many investors. Public-private partnership with funding from private sector and budgetary support has also been suggested.
