The Department of Highways officials revealed that the upcoming four lane bypass, covering 3 km, will feature a high-level bridge across the Palar River.

Connecting the service lane of the highway at Sathuvachari within Vellore Corporation limits to Kangeyanallur village near VIT in Katpadi, the project aims to address local commuting needs.

Executed by the Construction and Maintenance (C&M) wing of the State Highways, the four-lane roadway, measuring 15 meters wide with a 2.5-meter median, promises increased accessibility.

Once completed, the bypass is expected to accommodate approximately 17,250 vehicles daily, offering a more efficient route compared to the existing smaller Katpadi flyover.
