[2][3] The road starts from Kappalandimukku near Polayathode in the east and currently ends at KSRTC, but is ultimately planned to extend to Thoppilkadavu in the west of the city.

[4][5][6] The Rs.114 crore worth third phase of construction includes a 3 km long flyover, which would extend it from Kollam KSRTC Bus Station to Thoppilkadavu, is going on now.

[7] Kollam is an old sea port city in Kerala with traffic bottlenecks in three locations: Polayathode-Thattamala, Anchalumoodu and Kottiyam.

This link road now serves the city as a mini bypass by avoiding the heavy traffic at Chinnakada junction.

On completion, the Asramam Link Road will enable those passing through Kollam to avoid the busy Collectorate-High School Junction-Taluk Office junction-Chinnakada and Railway station.
