Summary:
"The narrow two-lane road is just 7.5feet wide. If the required fund was sanctioned, widening would commence without any delay," a senior official with the state highways department said. Accidents are regular on the 11.5km two-lane stretch between Kudamurutti Bridge and Anthanallur. As the sides of the road are ridged very steep, two-wheeler riders use to take the middle of the road in this stretch. While commuters travelling by four-wheelers face less difficulty in accessing the stretch, two-wheeler riders identify the stretch as a ‘death trap’ citing the danger they experience..
