Amidst ongoing Metro Rail construction, Chennai anticipates relief with the proposed construction of new link roads to alleviate traffic congestion. Senior officials are exploring the feasibility of connecting existing bus routes maintained by the Greater Chennai Corporation and the Highways Department. Plans include a link road near Adyar River, aiming to ease congestion around areas like Santhome and Mylapore affected by Metro Rail work.
Residents in Anna Nagar also await a 900-meter link road to mitigate traffic on Jawaharlal Nehru Salai during ongoing construction. With demands extending to areas unaffected by Metro Rail work, such as Ambattur, for improved connectivity, the initiative highlights efforts to enhance Chennai’s transportation infrastructure and ease commuter woes.
