  • Ramp, part of the unfinished Chennai Port-Maduravel elevated corridor removed on Poonamallee High Road

    Ramp, part of the unfinished Chennai Port-Maduravel elevated corridor removed on Poonamallee High Road

    The structure is being removed to reduce the flow of traffic on the stretch, which has been designated as an accident-prone place by the traffic police.

    The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is in the process of removing a section of concrete from the Chennai Port-Maduravel Elevated Corridor at Maduravoyal on Poonamallee High Road.

    “It is a recognized black spot and the police wanted the ramped portion to be removed to prevent accidents. In the previous design, it has been a part of the ramp where vehicles will go to the corridor. But now the length of the ramp has been increased, which will make the ramp unnecessary.

    Sources in the traffic police said that about 18 meters of the road remained inaccessible due to the presence of the structure. “The traffic goes down drastically, because one lane is available on the same side. An official said that it becomes a problem during peak hours.

    Meanwhile, a preliminary report preparation process is underway for the construction of the proposed double-decker flyover from Chennai Port to Maduravayal.

    Recently, when Union Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari visited the city, he announced that the current elevated corridor would be converted into a double decker. The 21-km project was halted and NHAI is now in the process of reviving it.

    “The consultant is currently studying how much it will cost, what additional land will be required, what the traffic system will be and who the end user will be in other details. It is expected to be ready in a fortnight after which our headquarters will take a decision , ”An official source said.

    Salai Road Overbridge Closed for Repair

    The road on Salai Road is closed for overbridge traffic due to repair work and road extension by the Tirui Corporation.

    Cracks developed in the structure and a fire broke out on a section of the road after heavy rains last August. It was then closed to heavy vehicles.

    Soon after the incident, the civic body made temporary arrangements. Sand bags were erected to provide stability and barricades erected to prevent heavy vehicle traffic such as buses and trucks from stopping at the bridge. Officials said heavy sand erosion was detected along the parapet and the road widened to about 50 feet.

    As soon as the excavation work started, the road was completely closed for traffic on Wednesday. “We noticed that there was loose sand that was still falling and damage could occur if the vehicle continued to ply on the road. Until the work is completed, only two-wheelers will be allowed and four-wheelers will have to be run separately, ”said a senior corporation official.

    The official said that the work of widening and strengthening the bridge will be completed in a month.

    Meanwhile, the city’s traffic police has requested vehicles to use Karur Bypass Road, Chhatram Bus Stand, Anna Pratima and Periyasamy Tower roads until the work is completed.
