NH 47 enters Kerala at Palakkad in the north and exits to Kanyakumari at Parassala in Thiruvananthapuram traversing 416 kms. NH17 enters the state at Kasargod and meets NH47 in Ernakulam district.

Pic: Zacharias CheranelloreThe land required for 4-laning of NH47, with a width of 35 meters had been acquired decades ago, but the implementation had been too tardy and 4-laning has so far been done only for about 100 kms, that too in different stretches. Several by-passes of busy towns were planned, but very few have been completed. In the last five years or so, the NHAI has been insisting on the state agreeing for BOT before commencing any fresh road laying. The government was unrelenting in its opposition to BOT and the standoff became so severe that the NHAI even neglected routine maintenance and recently the state PWD had to step in for patching up the pot-holes. | Pic: Zacharias CheranelloreThe land required for 4-laning of NH47, with a width of 35 meters had been acquired decades ago, but the implementation had been too tardy and 4-laning has so far been done only for about 100 kms, that too in different stretches.
