Length in kilometres of the roads maintained by the Kerala Public Works Department (Roads and Bridges wing) in each of the 14 districts, split into State Highways and Major District Roads, with their total, as printed in the appendix 'District-wise and Category-wise Length of Roads Maintained by PWD' of the Kerala Economic Review (source: PWD R&B). Editions 2015 to 2025 are included. Each row is one district, edition and measure; the table, page and file of each edition are listed under Source documents. In the 2025 edition the district totals range from 877 km in Wayanad to 3,312 km in Kottayam. It covers roads maintained by the PWD only; National Highways (a separate table in the same appendix), Local Self Government roads and PMGSY roads are not included. Use it to compare road length across districts, not to measure road quality or traffic.
