Chennai Corp Plans New Beautification Projects Under Flyovers

28 Jan 2025 CW Team

The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has announced plans to beautify several spaces under flyovers, including those at Doveton, Kalaivanar, Peters Road, Rangarajapuram, and Vyasarpadi. However, existing green spaces under bridges such as Murasoli Maran Bridge and Kotturpuram Bridge remain neglected due to a lack of funding, say officials from the Bridges and Parks departments.

An official from the Bridges department stated that no formal contract is currently in place for the upkeep of these green walls, which were maintained through CSR funds. The maintenance contractor was only appointed for three months when the vertical gardens were first set up, and no new funding from corporates has been received recently. As a result, the installations have neither been removed nor replanted.

The new beautification plans, being overseen by the Special Projects department, aim to enhance pedestrian paths and curb debris dumping beneath flyovers.

The project includes landscaping, CCTV surveillance, and solar-powered lighting, with features such as pathways, ornamental plants, benches, and possibly play areas or open gyms. The project budget for Kalaivanar flyover is Rs 3.74 crore, for Doveton flyover it is Rs 3.25 crore, and Rangarajapuram costs Rs 2.53 crore. The GCC expects to finish the beautification work within a year.
