Ennore Mamallapuram Road Project Accelerates With Land Acquisition

The Tamil Nadu Highways Department is executing the 132.87 km Chennai Peripheral Road from Ennore to Mamallapuram at an estimated cost of Rs 179.58 billion (Rs 17,958 crore). The project is being implemented in five packages and aims to strengthen connectivity along the northern and southern fringes of the city. Officials have outlined a phased approach to construction and monitoring of progress. The figure provided reflects consolidated estimates by the department.

As part of the first phase, work is under way on the 25 km stretch between Kattupalli and Panchetti while one package covering the 26.10 km stretch between Thatchur and the Tiruvallur bypass has been completed. Authorities are reviewing the progress of construction and the requirements for contractor support. Technical teams are conducting inspections and co-ordinating logistics to keep timelines on track.

The government has decided to acquire certain wet and dry agricultural lands in the Eekadu Kandigai area of Tiruvallur district under the Tamil Nadu Highways Act. The Highways Department has issued a notification inviting objections from landowners. Those with objections may submit them in writing within thirty days at the SIDCO branch office premises in the Ambattur Industrial Estate in Chennai. Officials are assessing compensation frameworks and rehabilitation measures for affected cultivators.

Authorities said the remaining works are expected to be completed and opened to traffic within a year and that timelines will be synchronised with related urban upgrade projects. Several major roads in Chennai are planned to be upgraded into world class six lane roads to ease traffic congestion and improve travel speeds. The corridor is projected to unlock economic opportunities and reduce travel times for commuters and freight. Continued monitoring and stakeholder engagement will guide delivery of the scheme.
