Work on building a 17.5-km stretch of the Chennai-Tirupati Highway (NH 205) from Tiruvallur to Thiruninravur is progressing well with the project expected to be completed by September 2024. This road is part of the new bypass to Tiruvallur and a fresh formation running to Thiruninravur. The existing highway from Tiruvallur to Thiruninravur would not be disturbed and will be maintained by the State government.
Sources in the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said the ₹304-crore work being executed under the engineering-procurement- construction mode involves building three major bridges across waterbodies, six minor bridges and 13 underpasses, all with six lanes. The length of the highway is 124 km of which 107 km was relaid recently.
