Chennai Port-Maduravoyal expressway to cost over Rs 5,000

The Port-Maduravoyal double-decker expressway of Chennai is finally coming together. The National Authority of India (NHAI) revised the project cost to over Rs 5,000 crore from Rs 3,100 crore, and now, the revised plan has seven entries and six exits.

According to the media reports, the final estimate of the six-lane flyover could be between Rs 5,000-Rs 5,500 crore.

From the overall 20.6 km stretch, 14 km (Napier bridge to Koyambedu) would be two tiers. On the other hand, the upper one is for vehicles driving directly to Chennai port.

At NHAI's request, the state government has decided to compensate the royalty for the raw materials like gravel and earth utilised for the road project.

NHAI would sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the government of Tamil Nadu in the upcoming weeks to begin the project.

As per the demand of the state, there would be a connecting link to the expressway at Binny Road (entry), Spurtank Road (entry), Chintadripet (entry and exit), Montieth Road (exit), and nearby K3 police station (entry and exit). Moreover, NHAI has agreed to this demand of the government.

According to the original project plan, six ramps were planned at Sivananda Salai (entry), College Road (entry), Kamarajar Salai (exit ramp), Spurtank Road (exit), and Arumbakkam (entry and exit).

As the state government has agreed to expedite the project, the NHAI would start the construction by next year's beginning, and the bids would be invited by September end.
