National Highway 744orNH 744 (earlier NH 208)[1] is a National HighwayinSouthern India that links Kollam (Quilon) in Kerala with MaduraiinTamil Nadu.[2] Starting from NH 66atChinnakkadainKollam, it joins TirumangalaminMaduraiatNational Highway 44 (India).[2]

Route description[edit]

This route has historically connected the cashew and spice producing Kollam District with the erstwhile Madras State. Nowadays, hordes of lorries carrying various goods from Tamil Nadu ply through this highway. The road cuts through the narrow low altitude gap at Aryankavu, and is a visual delight, especially the stretch from ThenmalatoSengottai. The historic Kollam-Sengottai Railway line goes by the side of the road.[3]

Future[edit]

As per news reports[5] and NHAI[6] tender & project data, it has been confirmed that the section of NH 744 between Tirumangalam (onNH 44) and Rajapalayam is being taken up to be converted into a tolled, four lane highway for a total distance of 68 km.
