Also known as KK Road, it is one of the three north-south arteries in the city of Kochi.
Most of the long distance buses that connect the city to the regions of the south and southeast use this road to reach their main terminal at Kaloor.
This 3.2 km long, 22 m wide, 4-lane city highway[1] was planned to ease the load on the busy MG Road.
The city is divided into two parts by the railway line running in a north-south direction.
This road fills the need for an artery on the eastern sector, avoiding the choke points of the two railway overpasses.
