3(a) notification issued for Kochi Outer Ring Road
The 3A notification issued in 2024 for what was then the 44-km-long, six-lane NH linking Angamaly and Netoor had expired that year, reportedly for want of follow-up action
The land acquisition process for the Kochi Outer Ring Road, a 50-km-long eight-lane highway, is set to accelerate following the issuance of a Section 3(a) notification under the National Highways Act, 1956. This notification is expected to be re-issued soon. The original notification, issued in 2024 for a 44-km-long six-lane highway, expired due to a lack of follow-up action.
The width of the highway was initially set at 45 meters but has since been increased to 70 meters after the government decided to build an eight-lane highway instead. The new alignment will start near Aroor on the Alappuzha border. To build this extension, land will be acquired from two more villages, Kumbalam and Aroor, which the 6-km-long extension will pass through.
