NH 68 is one of the under maintained road with lots of pot holes formed during the monsoon. The stretch between Thalaivasal and Attur used to smell due to discharges from Sago factories. This has been eliminated by economic development and enforcement.
This NH is currently planned to be upgraded to 4 Lane. Reliance Energy has won this project and have started the work. This includes 7 by pass roads in major town areas across the NH.[2]
NH 68 connects Salem, Coimbatore, Erode, Tirupur and the cities around these areas with Chennai.
