Work on the new vehicular subway on the Chennai - Bengaluru Highway (NH 48), which is maintained by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in Ranipet has begun.
The NHAI officials said that the ₹22-crore-subway is being built at Puttuthakku, a border village near Arcot town on the highway connecting Ranipet with Vellore district. Puttuthakku village is one of the ‘black spots’ within Ranipet district limits on the highway.
These black spots are accident-prone that are based on the reports given by the police to the district administration.
