NH 169: Heavy Vehicles Banned From Thanikode to SK Border; Check Alternative Routes

This stretch of National Highway 169 becomes particularly hazardous during the monsoon because of its sharp bends, steep gradients and single-lane carriageway. 

Continuous rainfall has caused significant soil erosion along both sides of the road, weakening its foundation and increasing the risk of further damage.

Authorities fear that the deteriorating condition of the bridges and the road could lead to structural failure if heavy vehicles continue to use the route. 

The situation has heightened concerns over the possibility of bridge or road collapses, increasing the risk of serious accidents and prompting authorities to impose precautionary measures to ensure public safety.
