Motorists will soon zip between Kochi and Thiruvananthapuram in just 2.5 hours, thanks to the NH-66 widening project. Spanning 644 km from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram, the six-lane highway aims to eliminate signals and right turns, boosting speed and safety. With 60 percent work completed and 4 key stretches nearly ready, the project is expected to finish by January 2026.
