Work to lay the final 60-metre-long stretch of the Thoraipakkam Radial Road extension will be taken up shortly.
The 800-metre stretch will connect Rajiv Gandhi Salai and the Canal Bank Road and ultimately the East Coast Road. However, 16 houses that were in the way had to be removed. “We were awaiting a court order and when it came in favour of the project, we demolished them recently,” said a source in the Highways Department. The remaining portion of the road is expected to be formed in two months’ time.
