==Significance==<br />
Thoppilkadavu is an emerging backwater tourism spot in [[Kollam]] city. The scenic [[Ashtamudi Lake]] and backwater tourism is increasing the importance of Thoppilkadavu. [[Inland Waterways Authority of India|Inland Waterways Authority of India(IWAI)]] has built a boat yard here in Thoppilkadavu. Boats connecting various towns in [[Kerala]] will start plying through Thoppilkadavu once [[Government of India]] complete the works on [[National Waterway 3 (India)|National Waterway-3]]. Thoppilkadavu will become an important transport hub of [[Kollam]] city once [[Government of Kerala]] complete the works over the much awaited [[Asramam Link Road]]. In the Phase-II development, the current [[Asramam Link Road]] would be extended up to Thoppilkadavu at a cost of Rs.63 crore. The project comprises construction of a new bridge across the confluence point of the [[Kollam]] canal with the [[Ashtamudi Lake]]. On completion, Asramam Link Road will enable those passing through [[Kollam]] avoid the busy Collectorate-High School Junction-Taluk Office junction-[[Chinnakada]] and [[Kollam Junction railway station|railway station]] road to proceed.<ref>[http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-kerala/rs63-crore-for-road-extension-project/article5106364.ece] Rs.63 crore for road extension project</ref><br />
