IDUKKI: The development of the proposed 125-km two-lane Kochi-Dhanushkodi NH 85 stretch from Kochi to Munnar has gained momentum with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) finalising the contract of `910 crore for the ambitious project.
Idukki MP Dean Kuriakose said the development of the highway, which extends from Peruvamoozhi bridge near Muvattupuzha to Bodimettu in Tamil Nadu, has received a lease of life and the project is going to benefit the development prospects of the district since 80% of the highway passes through the parliament constituency.
