'''National Highway 966A''' or '''NH 966A''' starts at [[Kalamassery]] (junction with [[NH 544]]) and ends at [[Vallarpadam]] [[International Container Transshipment Terminal, Kochi|International Container Transhipment Terminal]] in [[Kochi]], [[Kerala]], [[India]]. The total length of the highway is {{convert|15|km|mi|abbr=on}} and runs only inside Kochi.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://morth.nic.in/writereaddata/sublink2images/NH_StartEnding_Station8634854396.htm |title=Archived copy |access-date=2011-07-20 |url-status=dead |archive-url=http://webarchive.loc.gov/all/20090410062034/http%3A//morth%2Enic%2Ein/writereaddata/sublink2images/NH_StartEnding_Station8634854396%2Ehtm |archive-date=10 April 2009 |df=dmy-all }} Start and end points of National Highways</ref><br />
<br />
The four-lane NH connectivity is one of the pre-requisite for the setting up of the Rs 2,118-crore International Container Transhipment Terminal project of the [[Kochi Port]] at [[Vallarpadam]].<br />
The road start from the second bridge of the [[Goshree Islands Development Authority]] (GIDA) and stretch across the [[Kochi]] suburbs of [[Bolghatty Island]], [[Moolampilly]], [[Kothad]], [[Cheranelloor]], [[Manjummel]] and [[Fertilisers and Chemicals Travancore|FACT]] Gypsum Ground to reach [[Kalamassery]]. The NH 966A is crossing the NH 66 at Cheranalloor making it the only major junction and it is one of the biggest junction in the city and state.<br />
<br />
The road link required building 24 bridges of varying sizes, the longest of them being nearly 1 km and has been described by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) sources as one of the most important infrastructure projects now on in Kerala.<br />
The road and rail links to Vallarpadam cross each other at Mulavukadu island.<br />
According to a rough estimate, around 10 lakh tonnes of metal was used for the project which involved erecting many stone columns as well as laying road metal filters.<br />
