Proposed Waterway to Link Kottayam Port With Vizhinjam
A proposed inland waterway would connect Kottayam port with Vizhinjam in Kerala. The 180-km route is expected to take 12 to 14 hours to travel. It has 17 bridges and keeps a depth of around 2 metres. That depth would allow container barges to use it.
