Nearly 60% of the work to widen an 8-km stretch of the Tambaram-Mudichur-Sriperumbudur road has been completed. The ₹95-crore work to widen the present two-lane road into four lanes, includes construction of a minor bridge and widening of a minor and a major bridge.
The widening will help light vehicles proceeding from the G.S.T. Road to the Chennai–Bengaluru Highway since it connects these two national highways. This road, which witnesses heavy traffic, runs through several villages such as Manimangalam, Chethupattu, Pazhayapattu, Mannivakkam and Pushpagiri.
