The Chennai bypass will get yet another vehicular subway near the Vanagaram toll plaza. This will allow residents on either side of the six-lane wide road, to cross the bypass, without getting onto it.
Official sources in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said that the location was a black spot and accidents frequently took place there.
The detailed project report (DPR) for the construction of the subway is ready. “Steps will be taken to construct it as soon as possible. It is likely to cost ₹50 crore and will take a year to complete,” an official said.
