NH 66 Traffic Jam Persists as Flyovers Await Clearance in Kerala

National Highway 66 in Kerala is experiencing persistent traffic congestion as newly built flyovers and underpasses have not yet received the necessary clearance to open to traffic. The slow lane remains heavily used, causing delays for commuters and freight operators along the coastal corridor. Kerala’s Public Works Department has indicated that final approvals are pending from the state transport authority, which is reviewing safety and design standards before granting operational orders. The delay has prompted concerns among local businesses and travelers who rely on the highway for daily commutes and supply chain movements. Authorities have assured that the clearance process will be expedited to restore normal traffic flow.
