Kooriyad Section of NH 66 Reopens Following Reconstruction Efforts

On May 19, 2025, approximately 200 meters of an under-construction highway experienced a collapse due to the failure of an eight-meter embankment. The incident was attributed to the excessive pressure from accumulated rainwater, which compromised the structural integrity of the embankment.

Authorities are currently investigating the cause of the collapse and assessing any potential impact on the surrounding infrastructure. This incident raises concerns about construction practices and the management of stormwater in the area, particularly in regions prone to heavy rainfall. Further updates will be provided as the investigation progresses and as plans for repairs are developed.
