[4][6][7] In 2010, the National Highways Authority of India gave Iragavarapu Venkata Reddy Construction Limited (IVRCL) the tender to widen and toll the road as part of a larger toll road project from Chengapalli to Walayar.

[9][10] In late January 2012, it was reported that IVRCL planned to sell the project, valued at an estimated ₹ 10 billion, and Reliance Infrastructure was said to be a "likely frontrunner" to acquire it.

[14][15] The first section also included the construction of a new 32.2m bridge over the Noyyal,[4][16] at Aathupalam, with a toll period of 21 years,[1] until 2018.

[26] In 2012, the Member of Parliament representing Coimbatore, P. R. Natarajan, stated that the project was not practical and demanded changes in its design.

[27] In 2011, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu announced the construction of two new flyovers at Ukkadam and Athupalam to help decongest the Palakkad Road.

M R Sivasamy, the president of Tamizhaga Vivasayigal Sangham, demanded that the proposed road to be rerouted to start from Neelambur, and run through Vellanaipatty, Kallipalayam, Kunnathur, Kattampatty, Kuppepalayam, Sikkarampalayam and Odanthurai to reach Mettupalayam.

[30][31] The project has drawn ire from the public who are opposed to paying toll and feel that the wetlands in Sulur would be destroyed.

In 2010, an announcement was made in the State Budget to build a Western Ring Road at a cost of ₹ 2.84 billion for 26 km.

[38] In 2011, the Government of Tamil Nadu and the Highways and Minor Ports Department announced the construction of a 26-kilometre (16 mi) long Western Bypass from Kuniamuthur to Thudiyalur.

The road would help connect people going from Madukarai, and Palakkad to Marudamalai, Thadagam, Thudiyalur and Anaikatti.

[39] The proposed road would be 45 metres (148 ft) wide with paved shoulders on both sides and would cost ₹ 1.3 billion to build.

The request is to expand the L&T Bypass and connect it to Neelambur and implement a new ring road from Neelambur to Narasimhanaickenpalayam,[48][49] In 2021, the Tamil Nadu government took this request to the central government to implement an eastern ring road from Karanampettai to Narasimhanaickenpalayam.
