'''State Highway 43 (SH 43)''' is a State Highway in [[Kerala]], [[India]] that starts in [[Muvattupuzha]] and ends in Theni Town (Tamil Nadu). The highway is 105&nbsp;km long.<ref name="keralapwd">{{cite web|url=http://www.keralapwd.gov.in/getPage.php?page=maps&pageId=248|title=Kerala PWD - State Highways|publisher=Kerala State Public Works Department|accessdate=26 February 2010}}</ref> The Route Starts from Chali Bridge at [[Muvattupuzha]] Connecting to [[National Highway 49 (India)|NH 49]] towards [[Kothamangalam, Ernakulam|Kothamangalam]].<br />
<br />
== The Route Map ==<br />
Muvattupuzha –Kalloorkad – Kodikulam – Udumbannoor- kaithappara - maniyarankudi Idukki – Mariyapuram – Thankamony- Erattayar – Kattappana – Puliyanmala – Anyartholu- Chettukuzhi - Kuzhitholu - Cumbammettu – Cumbam - Theni<br />
<br />
== Districts connected by State Highway ==<br />
[[SH 43]] goes through [[Ernakulam district]], [[Idukki district]] districts of [[Kerala]] State and [[Theni district]] district of [[Tamil Nadu]] State .<br />
<br />
== Townships on the State Highway ==<br />
[[Idukki]], [[Kattappana]] and [[Cumbum, Tamil Nadu|Cumbum]] are the major towns on the course of this State Highway<br />
<br />
== Strategic Importance ==<br />
When this State Highway is completed, This Route Will be a Shorter and Less Hilly Route to Reach [[Theni]] and [[Madurai]] in Tamil Nadu state from [[Cochin]] City. This Will bring developments to the High-Range (Hilly Region in Central Kerala) Regions of Idukki District as well as Easier, Shorter Way to Reach Thodupuzha [[Muvattupuzha]] and [[Ernakulam]]. This Route is Essentially a Hill Highway and is the shortest connection from Idukki to Thodupuzha or Moovattupuzha with least hairpins. The route connecting Udumbannoor and Maniyarankudi is still under construction. There is severe objection from the Forest dept since the 10&nbsp;km route is through the forest land. Historically this SH is through the fort separating princely kingdoms of thekkumkur and vadakkumkur. After construction this will be the shortest and easiest access from high range heartland to reach Kerala townships of Thodupuzha, Kottayam and Ernakulam. There is a huge demand from people to complete the construction of this route immediately.<br />
