Karingachira-Thiruvankulam NH 85 stretch to be widened to 14 metres
India’s Kerala state plans to widen the Karingachira‑Thiruvankulam stretch of NH 85 to 14 m, aiming to ease traffic at the congested Thiruvankulam Junction. The upgrade will allow free left turns, and a 20‑m roundabout will be built there. Additionally, authorities will construct the Chitrapuzha‑Mamala Bund Road to improve connectivity. This project is part of the state’s broader effort to upgrade key highways.
