The Road is tolled by the Kodaikanal Municipality.[2]

History

The road was strengthened at a cost of ₹ 60 million in 2009.[3] A retention wall was later built due to a landslide.[4]

The Road was used as an alternative when the Adukkam-Periakulam and Adukkam-Perumalmalai ghat roads were shut due to excessive damage.[5]

In 2010, the road was completely blocked after a major landslide occurred due to heavy rainfall.[6]

Accidents

In 2011, four people were killed when a car plunged into a gorge.[7]
