Ending the long wait, the renovated Alimukku-Achankovil road will be thrown open for traffic on Tuesday.
Cutting across three forest divisions including Punalur, Achankovil and Konni, the 37-km road connects Kollam and Pathanamthitta districts to Mekkarai-Achankovil inter-State route. This is also the shortest route for the pilgrims from Tamil Nadu to reach the temples in Achankovil and Sabarimala.
In the 37 kms, the 4.5 km from Alimukku to Karavoor is PWD road while the next 10.5 km distance upto Kottakayam falls under Punalur Forest Division. The road upto Mullumala had been leased to State Farming Corporation while the other stretches come under Punalur Forest Division, Konni Forest Division, Achankovil Forest Division and Piravathur grama panchayat. The project was completed by the Forest Department spending ₹13.84 crore.
