Also, it seems that four laning work would soon start from Chengapalli to Walayar. Saw surveyors on the road as well as markings on the road indicating the start and end points of bye passes at Avinashi and couple of small towns on the way. -- Wind | |

Everyone can reach till Kerala border very fast. And then debate over a cup of tea whether NH47 should be 30m or lesser. ![]() | |

Aramam motel would be a good place to debate on 30 meters. :-) Dug up this old story from The Hindu. The Hindu : Tamil Nadu News : NHAI gearing up to widen Chengapalli-Walayar stretch The article states that Civil work is expected to commence by June, 2010 which seems to be on track based on observations. The question is will the project be completed within 20 months? -- Wind | |

Roads were excellent after some 15 Kms from Nagarcoil except for some bumps and dips near the bridges. Wanted to come back via Shencottah but couldnt identify the turning point to Shencottah in Madurai bypass. Last edited by carlover98 : 28th May 2010 at 18:28. Reason: One more paragraph added | |

Coming from Madurai town, one would have to hit NH7 first, reach Tirumangalam. Last edited by sbraj : 28th May 2010 at 19:10. | ||

Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Did anybody recently tried the Bangalore > Kanakapura > Kollegal > Chamrajnagar > Sathy route (NH 209) to go towards Kerala or CBE? Please update on the road conditions. If they can make this a good road, I am sure it will take lot of load off the regular Hosur road route. |

Does this mean no potholes and clean road? My knowledge is pretty old, but saw many potholes of the road? Have they recently (off late) done any tarring? |

| ![]() This is what my friend cooldube said in Apr 2010: "NH-209 is now quite good all the way from B'lore till Chamarajanagara. In fact, Nanjangud - C'nagar road is in a bad state in comparison." |
