The Main Central Road (MC Road) is the arterial State Highway in the Travancore region of Kerala state, India. It is designated as SH 1 by the Kerala Public Works Department.

The highway was built by Raja Kesavadas, Dewan of Travancore. This road starts from National Highway 47 at Kesavadasapuram in Thiruvananthapuram city and rejoins the NH 47 at Angamaly[1] a suburb of Kochi city in Ernakulam district. The MC Road passes through Kilimanoor, Kottarakkara, Adoor, Pandalam, Chengannur, Tiruvalla, Changanassery, Kottayam, Ettumanoor, Muvattupuzha and Perumbavoor. Before NH 47 was built through Angamaly, MC road extended up to Karukutty village 6 km away from Angamaly town in the Chalakudy road. MC Road is a popular route to access the famous shrine of Sabarimala. It covers many important towns of Central and South Kerala.

The MC road is being renovated under the World Bank aided Kerala State Transport Project (2006). The upgrading is being carried out in two phases. In phase 1, two stretches, Thaikkod (near Venjarammoodu) – Chengannur and Muvattupuzha – Angamaly were upgraded and works are underway in some locations in between. In addition, a new link to NH 47 has been completed between Thaikkod and Vetturoad near Kazhakoottam. In phase 2, the Chengannur – Muvattupuzha stretch will be upgraded.
