Chalakayam–Pamba Road Renovation Completed at Record Speed; Pilgrims to Enjoy Smoother Journey

 

 4.5-km stretch on a key Sabarimala pilgrimage route upgraded to modern standards at a cost of





Rs. 14.14 crore. Remarkably, a project originally scheduled for completion in nine months was completed in just one month.

The renovation of the Chalakayam–Pamba road, providing much-needed relief to Sabarimala pilgrims, has been completed at record speed by the State Public Works Department.

The upgradation of this key route, used by lakhs of devotees during the Sabarimala pilgrimage season, is expected to bring significant improvements in traffic movement and road safety.

The road has been renovated over a stretch of 4.5 kilometres, with a width of 12 metres. The Public Works Department completed the project at a cost of Rs. 14.14 crore. It is a remarkable achievement that the work, which had originally been allotted a construction period of nine months, was completed in an exceptionally short time.

Modern construction techniques were adopted to improve the quality and durability of the road surface. The road was asphalted with a 5-centimetre-thick BM (Bituminous Macadam) layer and a 3-centimetre-thick BC (Bituminous Concrete) layer. Beneath these layers, a 20 to 30-centimetre-thick metal aggregate base was laid and compacted to strengthen the road.

Special attention was given to the safety of motorists and pilgrims during the renovation. Signboards, crash barriers and road markings have been installed wherever necessary. Safety measures have also been introduced at accident-prone locations, while improvements have been made to curves and other critical stretches to enhance road safety.

Ancillary works, including the installation of concrete interlocking blocks on both sides of the road from Thriveni to the U-turn, were also undertaken as part of the project. The work has been completed with protective arrangements along both sides of the road to ensure a safer journey for pilgrims.

The Chief Engineer of the Public Works Department inspected the work on September 18, 2026. M.P. Jolly is the contractor. The renovation work commenced on October 13, 2026, and was completed on November 13, 2026.

The renovation of the Chalakayam–Pamba road marks a significant achievement in efforts to improve infrastructure ahead of the Sabarimala pilgrimage season. The upgraded road is expected to reduce travel time for pilgrims, ease traffic congestion and minimise the risk of accidents.

The Chalakayam–Pamba road is set to become an important infrastructure improvement, ensuring both safety and convenience for devotees travelling to Sabarimala.
