Residents? years of demand for a new bypass in Vellore, along the Chennai-Bengaluru Highway (NH44), is finally seeing progress as preliminary work has commenced.

The Department of Highways officials revealed that the upcoming four lane bypass, covering 3 km, will feature a high-level bridge across the Palar River.
