In parallel, tenders have been floated for asphalt overlay works on 1,919 roads covering 25,093 sq metres, also estimated at Rs 2,000 million. These works are currently under execution.

Over the past three years, the Corporation has completed 5,215 road projects across schemes such as the Tamil Nadu Urban Road Infrastructure Programme, Nagarpura Salai Mempattu Thittam, State Finance Commission special fund, and its general fund. These works span 860.69 km at a total cost of Rs 4,150.6 million.
