'''Kundannoor''' is a region in the city of [[Kochi]], in the state of [[Kerala]], [[India]]. It is located around 3.5 km from [[Vytilla]] Junction and around 7 km from [[Ernakulam Junction]] Railway Station. Kundanoor is located on the busiest road of the city and state, the [[Kochi Bypass]], at the junction of three [[National Highway (India)|National Highways]], namely [[National Highway 66 (India)|NH 66]], [[National Highway 85 (India)|NH 85]] and [[National Highway 966B (India)|NH 966B]]. [[National Highway 966B (India)|NH 966B]] is the second shortest National highway in India.<ref name="National Highways of Kerala">{{Cite web|publisher=Kerala PWD|url=http://www.keralapwd.gov.in/getPage.php?page=NH%20in%20Kerala&pageId=301|title=National Highways of Kerala|accessdate=2011-03-14|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160816023351/http://www.keralapwd.gov.in/getPage.php?page=NH%20in%20Kerala&pageId=301|archive-date=16 August 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
<br />
The junction now has a six-lane flyover due to the high traffic it handles. Since the current [[Kochi Bypass]] carries over twice the traffic it is designed to handle, the [[National Highways Authority of India]] had come up with a proposal for a new bypass for Kochi city a few years ago. As per the selected alignment, the Kochi New Bypass will begin from NH 544 at Karayamparambu, north of Kochi's suburb [[Angamaly]], and end at NH 66 at [[Nettoor]] region of Maradu. <br />
<br />
In addition to this new greenfield National Highway project, the existing NH 85 (Kochi-Dhanushkodi) starting from Kundannoor junction will be widened to a four-lane one under [[Bharatmala]]. As per the plans the new widened NH will avoid the current NH 85 until [[Puthenkurishu]], starting around 1 kilometre south of the existing Kundanoor Junction.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Kochi/three-national-highways-to-take-off-from-kundannur/article33208360.ece|title = Three national highways to take off from Kundannur|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 30 November 2020|last1 = Paul|first1 = John L.}}</ref><br />

The [[Le Meridien]] and [[Crowne Plaza]] hotels are near Kundanoor junction. Many shopping malls are proposed and some including [[Prestige Group]]'s Kochi Forum Thomson Mall are under construction in Kundanoor. Kundanoor is also unofficially known as the automobile hub of Kochi, since it houses the most vehicle showrooms in the city and the state, including [[Mercedes-Benz]], [[Volvo]], [[Porsche]], [[Audi]], [[Volkswagen]], [[Suzuki Nexa]], [[Honda]] BigWing Topline, [[Jeep]], [[Harley Davidson]], etc.<br />
