The State government has sanctioned ₹331 crore for the construction of four flyovers on Rajiv Gandhi Salai (Old Mahabalipuram Road). It has released ₹50 crore as the first instalment for the same.
The flyovers at Taramani-SRP Tools junction, MGR Salai-Perungudi, Thoraipakkam Radial Road junction and Sholinganallur junction are long-pending demands of vehicle users.
The work, to be completed in two years, is to be taken up jointly by Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. and the Tamil Nadu Road Development Company (TNRDC) with the latter being the managing associate to implement the project, according to official sources.
