Before NH 544 was built through Angamaly, MC road extended up to Karukutty village 6 km (3.7 mi) away from Angamaly town in the Chalakudy road. A section of this road between Mulakuzha and Kottayam is now upgraded as a section of NH 183. MC Road is a popular route to access the shrine of Sabarimala. It covers many important towns of Central and South Kerala.

History

The highway was built by Raja Kesavadas, the dewan of the Travancore Kingdom. The MC road was renovated under the World Bank aided 'Kerala State Transport Project (2006)'. The upgrading was carried out in two phases. Under phase 1, two stretches, Thaikkod (near Venjarammoodu) – Chengannur and Muvattupuzha – Angamaly were upgraded and works were completed in 2010. In addition, a new road link to NH 66 has been completed between Thaikkad and Vettu road (near Kazhakootam in Trivandrum). In phase 2, the Chengannur – Ettumanoor 47 km (29 mi) stretch was upgraded. The road has a total width of 10 metres (33 ft) and facilitates two-lane traffic. The road also have a 7-metre (23 ft) carriageway and a sealed shoulder, having width of 1.5 metres (4 ft 11 in). The project also features protection walls and adequate drainage facilities. The construction of seven bridges has also been envisaged as part of the project. This includes the constructions at Neelimangalam, Manipuzha, Pannikuzhy, Arattukadavu, Illimala, Thondara, and Kallissery. In addition, three existing bridges along the route is also widened. The work was launched on 14 September 2014 and completed in 2018.[2]
