Chennai-Tirupati 4-lane road to be ready in 2013

The long-pending work on the Chennai-Tirupati road will be completed in a year, as decks have been cleared for converting the two-lane road into four lanes. Once the expan­sion works are completed, commuters travelling on the 124 km will have a smooth passage without having to face traffic snarls. The stretch passes through Kaluru cross in Chandragiri mandal, Putturu, Nagari and Thiruttani. The four-laning project is set to cost approximately Rs 1,000 crore.
