Access corridors

Access from North breakwaters
The coastal stretch identified for the port extends between Vizhinjam and Chowara beach (near Adamalathurai) and (northern breakwater) starts 150m south from the Vizhinjam Fishing Harbour (southern breakwaters). Keeping in view the terrain and activities at the fishing harbour, an elevated corridor is proposed from the Northern Breakwaters to Mukkola Junction and thereafter the alignment runs along the Vizhinjam - Mukkola Road and meets the NH47 Bypass meeting point 100m NE of Mukkola Junction.

Access from South break waters

The combined corridor access (road & rail) proposed from the southern side will take off from the proposed southern breakwater, cross the Karichal River, runs SE of Kanjirakulam, cross NH 47 NW of Neyyattinkara and ends at Neyyattinkara Railway station. Combined corridor is 6.6 Km long up to the NH47 Bypass (south of Kanjirakulam Jn). From the NH47 Bypass, it is a rail link corridor upto Neyyattinkara . Total width of 40-m right of way is considered up to the NH Bypass. The right of way for rail is considered as 16 m for two broad gauge lines. Initially single line rail connectivity may be provided which can be doubled as the traffic increases.
