Around 8km stretch between NHAI toll plaza and NIT Trichy and another 8km between Thiruverumbur ITI and Palpannai have been sanctioned for the renewal work. “We have started to mill the top surface of the total 16km stretch,” an official source said.

NHAI has planned to complete the work by June 2021 by enforcing traffic diversions. While the NHAI is supposed to relay NHs once in every five years, the Thanjavur highway has been waiting for renewal work after it was commissioned in 2015. An NHAI official said that Covid-19 outbreak delayed the work, which was to have taken place in 2020.
