State Highway 74 (SH 74) is a state highway in Kerala, India that starts in Vazhakode and ends in Alathur. The highway is 33.69 km long. The road connects important towns Chelakkara and Pazhayannur^[1]

This road from Vazhakkodu to Plazhy of 22.7km was selected to be re-tarred using climate resilient materials under the Rebuild Kerala Initiative for 105.4 crore. EKK Infrastructure Limited was given the tender and work started in 25.10.2021 and work is supposed to be completed by 25.04.2023(18 months construction time). And the contractor will be responsible for all maintenance for next 5 years.^[2]

After 12 months of construction, local politicians said only 40% of the project is complete and that they don't think it will complete within the stipulated time of 18 months. They claim the road work is making life of the commuters difficult.^[3]

Some construction material was stolen, and the culprits arrested by the police during the construction of this road. ^[4]
