Coimbatore: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is under scrutiny as several critical projects in Coimbatore face significant delays, impeding the region's economic progress. Residents express frustration over prolonged wait times and incomplete infrastructure, questioning the agency's efficiency.

Neelambur to Chengapalli Expressway (NH 544): Despite being open for over thirteen years, the Neelambur to Chengapalli Expressway on NH 544 remains incomplete. Large stretches are yet to be resurfaced, leaving commuters navigating through patches without proper sign boards, posing safety risks.



Coimbatore Eastern Bypass Road: The proposed Coimbatore Eastern bypass road, crucial for linking various National Highways in the area, has been stuck in bureaucratic processes since 2016. Despite a feasibility report prepared in 2018, the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is still pending approval, leaving the city's traffic management in limbo.

Kurumbapalayam to Bannari Expressway (NH 948): The fate of the Expressway from Kurumbapalayam to Bannari on NH 948 remains uncertain, prompting concerns among locals. An article published today sheds light on the challenges faced, further highlighting NHAI's struggle to push the project forward.

Coimbatore to Karur Expressway (NH 81): A proposed 120 km Coimbatore to Karur Expressway along NH 81 is yet to receive approval from NHAI. The delay in this vital project affects both commuters and potential economic growth opportunities along the route.

Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP): Coimbatore's hopes are pinned on the implementation of the Multi-Modal Logistics Park (MMLP). While residents remain optimistic, the lack of visible progress raises concerns about NHAI's ability to execute this essential infrastructure project.

Local residents emphasize that roads are pivotal in shaping land use patterns, attracting investments, and driving economic development. The delay in these projects not only hampers infrastructure growth but also affects employment opportunities, ultimately impacting the overall living standards of the people in Coimbatore.

Experts urge for the active participation of all stakeholders, emphasizing fairness and non-discrimination, to ensure Coimbatore's prosperity, aligning it with other progressive cities across the country.
