Kumar,
The roads were pretty good till devipattinam but just the last stretch of 20-25kms to Ramnad there is NO ROAD....simple.
Yes, Madurai byepass through to Vattalagundu and onward to Kodai; followed the same on return but turned off at Vattalagundu to head toward Dindigul (that road is a good one).
As regards the ECR, I have been right through from Pondicherry-Chidambaram-Sirkali-Nagapattinam - but let me tell you after Pondicherry the roads are non-existant. I doubt whether this will see the light of the day even by next year - given that the Tindivanam-Tiruchi has been under construction for ages now.
cheers
Ram
