The Hindu
With major works being completed in the much-delayed third phase of the Erode Outer Ring Road project, Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami is expected to inaugurate the project soon. The 14.8-km project to connect Kokkarayanpettai in Namakkal district with Thindal Medu in Erode was sanctioned at ₹ 85 crore in 2006 and was planned to be executed in three phases.
The first phase from Kokkarayanpettai to Lakkapuram, including the bridge across River Cauvery, and the second phase from Lakkapuram to Anakalpalayam, were completed and opened for traffic.
