AFAIK, the ground breaking is scheduled for the last week of April. In the meantime, clearing and preliminary site grading will commence this week or early next week.

Well, I clearly pointed out regarding the model in video. Hopefully they pep up the design. Its just a personal opinion (just google up images for "international football/cricket stadiums" then you will know what I am talking about).

Its true that at least they have started building it rather than fantasising on paper or IT.

Construction work at the site will start on 23/04/12.

SEED is IL&FS's MEP consultant. I hope that the choice of contractor will also be confirmed soon. They have already identified a large contractor already executing two major projects in the vicinity.

Kerala CM to lay foundation stone for National Games stadium

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: Come Wednesday and Chief Minister Oommen Chandy will lay the foundation stone for the Kariavattom outdoor stadium, the proposed venue for the opening/closing ceremony of the 35th National Games. The Chief Minister will lay the foundation stone at 4.30 pm on the day at Kariavattom.

Sports Minister K B Ganesh Kumar and officials concerned will attend the function. The event will be a major milestone in the preparations for the 35th National Games to be hosted by the State. The proposed stadium will come up on 37 acres of land belonging to the University of Kerala.

The Kerala University has lent the 37 acres to Kariavattom Sports Facilities Limited, a special-purpose vehicle fully owned by IL&FS Transportation Network Limited. The land was given on lease for 30 years. The construction of the greenfield stadium is expected to be completed in two years.
Kerala CM to lay foundation stone for National Games stadium

The first stadium in the country to be developed on DBOT (Design-build-operate- transfer) basis, the facility would have the capacity to seat 50,000 people. The rough estimate of the project is Rs 160 crore.

The stadium is designed in such a way that it could be used for football and cricket. It is designed as a self-sustaining model, having a convention centre, exhibition hall, restaurant, club house, swimming pools, indoor games facilities, retail space etc.

Though the work was awarded to IL&FS in September last year, delay in forming a consensus on the lease amount by Kerala University lagged the works. Finally, National Games Secretariat, IL&FS and the University signed a concession agreement on April 4, paving way for the development of the stadium.

If I am guessing correctly, the pavilion is located at the spot where the 600 m access road from the stadium complex meets the old NH 66 alignment.

And my guess is it will be a 4-laner. I browsed the old pages but couldn't locate specific details about the road but remember reading somewhere about the width and specifications. Starts from the eastern border of the Highway Research Institute, right?

Correct, the access road would have a minimum of 4-lanes and perhaps as many as 6, since the surge traffic when 50,000 folks exit the stadium within a period of 30 minutes would be very high. Fortunately, there will be a monorail station within walking distance.
