Work to restore a 1.8-km stretch of Kodambakkam-Sriperumbudur road up to Manapakkam is expected to commence shortly. Tenders have been invited by the Highways Department for the work that will be taken up by four contractors so that it can be completed fast.
The road passing through many residential localities has been dug up by the Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (CMWSSB) and the Water Resources Department for constructing an underground sewage network and a large drain.
“Both the agencies have sought 15 days to finish their work. We have, meanwhile, called for tenders where the contractors should finish the work in three months. The restoration is being carried out with funds paid by the water board since it cut and damaged the road,” said a source in the Highways Department.
