Chief Minister M.K. Stalin on Saturday inaugurated the 500-metre-long “Mayor Chittibabu” bridge connecting Kolathur Main Road on the north with ICF Road on the south, constructed at a cost of ₹61.98 crore.
The bridge, which was a long–pending demand of the people of the Kolathur Assembly constituency, represented by the Chief Minister, is expected to significantly reduce the travel time, especially for those commuting between Kolathur and Anna Nagar.
Addressing the public after inaugurating the bridge, Mr. Stalin, who is the MLA of Kolathur constituency, traced the long journey taken to construct the bridge. He said steps were taken in 2014 when he was the MLA and the AIADMK was in power. He said he approached the then Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu and persuaded him to allocate ₹7.35 crore for the project.
