Work on the 700-metre-long road overbridge (RoB) at Veppampattu, which is to replace level crossing (LC) 14, is likely to resume soon, with tenders to be called in a month’s time.
Sources in the Highways Department said the process to disburse cash to property owners is under way.
The government had sanctioned ₹29 crore in 2011 for the project that was put on hold due to a litigation-caused delay. Around 40% of the work has been completed. The railways has also finished its portion of the work over the tracks.. “We will be calling for tenders in a month, and after three months for the contractor; the remaining work will take 12 months to complete,” said an official in the department.
