Proposal for Improved Connectivity.

The old alignment of this National Highway (NH -36) runs near eastern coast of the state of Tamil Nadu. The project road is part of the 168 km long Vikravandi to Thanjavur section of the existing National Highway 36 (NH-36). Recently MORTH has amended the number and Length of the National Highways. The old NH 12 in the state of Tamil Nadu has become the part of the New National Highway 45C. It links Chennai with Thanjavur and is 418 km long.

The Sethiyahopu to Cholapuram section of this NH-45C is an important link to connect Metropolitan city of Chennai to the religious and tourist places of Cholapuram, Thanjavur, kumbakonam, Puducherry. The project is proposed to decongest the road side development with features of Pinnalur cum Sethiyahtopu & Thirupanandal town bypasses, The highway is also expected to provide improved connectivity to other religious places & other major cities like Rameswaram, Madurai, Tiruchirappalli, etc.
