The Kodungallur bypass is a 3.55 km stretch road which bypasses Kodungallur city. The bypass is a part of the National Highway 17 (India). Total cost of the land acquisition and construction of the bypass is 116.8 crore.[1][2]
History
The first survey for the bypass was commissioned in 1977. In July 2008, notification was issued for acquisition of the land, and on 30 November 2008 land acquisitions were started. Resident associations and other families approached lower court and Kerala High Court to stop the land acquisitions by the National Highway Authority and Government of Kerala. On 30 May 2013 Government of Kerala gives total land to build the bypass. On 18 September 2014 Kerala Chief Minister Oommen Chandy inaugurated the bypass.[3][4]
