Chennai: Within a few months, this city can witness the construction of the bridge once again because Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has cleared the file and revives the proposal to build 10 kites in the city.
The corporate source said that during a recent review meeting with the local administration Minister KN Nehru, a proposal for city infrastructure was discussed.
Important projects such as flyovers, road widening and storm waterways are installed in front of the minister.
The source said that the minister had gave implicit green signals for the construction of flyovers in the city, which was officially conveyed by GCC as part of their 10-year vision to the government.
Based on the allocation of funds in the upcoming budget, the project will take off, the source said.
This is a significant step because the last time the flyover or bridge built by the Civic body is during the Mayor of the Minister of Chief Justice, MK Stalin, about two decades ago.
“Compared to road widening projects, fir firover requires lower or not land acquisition Has the third highest number of twowheeler populations, “said a senior official.
One project that is being debated will come as a big assistance for the population of North Chennai.
This is a flyover construction on the ganesapuram subway in Royapuram.
This will ensure that during heavy rain, when the subway will always be flooded, there will be easy traffic flow through overbridge.
Other proposed roads include one at the crossroads of the velachery road bypass near the teacher Nanak College, Junction of New Avadi Road and Anna Nagar Third Avenue and one on the subway in Nelson Manickam Road.
In accordance with the latest standards, GCC will also build a 1.8 meter wide path next to the kite for better safety.
GCC has also been asked to learn whether the elevated corridor can be built in the city, similar to the toll road; However, officials said it would be difficult to execute in areas where congestion was higher.
