Virajpet: The Virajpet - Makutta Inter-State Highway, which connects Kerala with Kodagu, opened for traffic from yesterday after three months of repair works. The Highway was closed for road repair works as it was damaged following heavy rains and landslides in the month of July and August on various locations along the stretch.
Kodagu District Administration has so far completed most of the works on the stretch to facilitate the movement of vehicles. Earlier, the District Administration had opened this stretch for single-axle tourist buses and single-axle light goods vehicles, now it has given permission for all multi-axle vehicles.
