Construction of the South Usman Road flyover connecting Anna Salai with T Nagar is expected to be completed by December 2024. Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) commissioner Dr J Radhakrishnan who inspected the flyover said work on the ?1.3 crore project was progressing fast.

The flyover with steel pillars is 1.2 kilometre long and will have two lanes. A service lane is being created beneath the flyovers and it will also have pavements of 1.5 metres width beneath. ?Currently, piers have been placed and concrete works are ongoing. I have instructed the officers to ensure quality and expedite the works,? said Radhakrishnan.

The flyover will have entry and exit ramps at Madley junction, T Nagar near Ranganathan Street and Panagal Park. With more than 20,000 vehicles passing from CIT Nagar to T Nagar, this flyover will decongest the traffic for vehicles heading to Mambalam, T Nagar, Kodambakkam and Nungambakkam, from Anna Salai. It will reduce travel time on South Usman Road, Bruit Road, Madley Road, Boag Road, and New Road.

As per estimates by the GCC, the flyover will help to bring down point-to-point commute time from 30 minutes to five minutes. Further, the vehicle speeds in this stretch during peak hours will increase from 8-10 kilometres per hour in non-peak hours to 30-kilometres per hour.

The corporation will connect this flyover with the existing Usman Road flyover that ends before Vivekh?s Junction. Once connected, commuters from Anna Salai can directly reach T Nagar through this flyover skipping the busy Madley junction.
