NHAI’s East Coast Road expansion project gets nod

Travel from central Tamil Nadu to Chennai along the East Coast Road (ECR) is set to get easier as highway expansion plans between Villupuram and Pondicherry have got clearance. NHAI had proposed to expand the 67-km stretch into a four-way bypass road with a 45 m to 60 m right of way (RoW) and grade separators at an estimated cost of Rs.18.76 bn. The project involves construction of 17 bridges, nine flyovers and one interchange.
