Minister EV Velu said in a letter to Federal Minister Nitin Gadkari that after the upgrade, the Kallakurichi-Tiruvannamalai and Arcot-Tindivanam highways will become the shortest routes to important pilgrimage centers.

The 30-kilometer Madurai Highway will connect AIIMS, Madurai-Cochin Road and Kodai Road, and will connect the integrated Madurai Bus Station at the central vegetable and flower market Mattuthavani to NH44 (Srinagar-Kanyakumari Road).

The National Highway Administration (NHAI) has proposed a four-lane road between Coimbatore and Sathyamangaland and a 90 km two-lane road between Sathyamangaland and the state border.
