A portion of Kerala’s busy NH-66 highway collapsed yesterday after several days of intense rainfall weakened the soil beneath the road. The sudden cave-in left drivers shocked as the surface gave way without warning, creating a deep gap that made the entire stretch unsafe for travel.
Authorities confirmed that no injuries or casualties occurred, mainly because traffic was light at the time of the collapse. However, the incident has caused major disruption to thousands of daily commuters who rely on this national highway, which connects key towns and coastal districts across Kerala.
Engineers and disaster response teams inspected the site and found that continuous rain had saturated the soil, eroding the support structure below the road. Repair work began immediately, but officials say the restoration will take time as the ground must be stabilized before reconstruction can begin.
Traffic has been fully diverted through alternative routes, causing delays and congestion in nearby areas. Locals say the collapse highlights the urgent need for stronger infrastructure and better drainage systems in regions that face heavy monsoon rains every year.
NH-66 is one of Kerala’s most important highways, and the collapse has sparked concern about the safety of other vulnerable stretches along the route. Updates from the ground indicate that repair teams are working around the clock to reopen the road as soon as possible.
