Presently, the easy route for vehicles coming from Angamali to enter Alappuzha is by crossing the narrow Marthandavarma bridge at Aluva as well as Edappally, which is one of the busiest junctions in the state.
[4] The proposed bypass will be 10 km inland from the existing route and will have no major towns or junctions.
The project will be completed as a six lane greenfield highway by acquiring the land avoiding residential areas as much as possible.
[7] The 47 km highway starts from Karayamparampu in Angamaly and passes through 17 villages in Aluva, Kunnathunad and Kanayannoor taluks.
From here, moving southwards, it will cross the existing NH-85 near Puthankurish and turn in a westerly direction.
