Tamil Nadu Greenlights 3rd Route To Yercaud For Improved Travel

• Tamil Nadu approves a third route to Yercaud to ease congestion and improve connectivity for commuters and tourists.
• The new route aims to reduce travel pressure on the existing Salem-Yercaud main road and Kuppanur-Yercaud road, which face heavy traffic.
• A detailed survey was conducted, leading to the transfer of a 10.3 km stretch from the Rural Development Department to the Highways Department for widening.
• The transferred sections include Karadiyur-Sorakkapatti road, Puthur to Karadiyur, and Kanavai Puthur to Kannappadi.
• The upgraded corridor will benefit local residents and tourists from districts like Hosur, Krishnagiri, and Dharmapuri, offering quicker and safer travel.
