The Tiruchi City Corporation has expedited the construction work of the bus terminus at Srirangam to complete it ahead of schedule.
The terminus is being built on 1.08 acres of land on Gandhi Road near the Rajagopuram of Sriranganatha Swamy temple at an outlay of ₹11.10 crore to fulfil the long-felt demand of the residents of Srirangam. The foundation stone was laid in December 2023 and work on the new bus terminus began in January end.
Although the construction was initially delayed, the civic body has taken steps to expedite the project. More than 50 workers have been engaged at the site. As of now, the foundation work has been completed after the site was levelled with earthmovers.
