Tamil Nadu's East Tambaram bypass to finish in two years

14 Jul 2022 CW Team

The Tambaram Eastern Bypass Road project's missing links will finally be built after a 10-year delay, according to a tender recently released by the Tamil Nadu roads department. The project's estimated cost is 48.7 crore.

Tambaram, the southern access point to the city, frequently has traffic jams due to increased traffic on Grand Southern Trunk (GST) Road and MBI Road. To prevent this, the department began constructing a four- or six-lane bypass road on Tambaram's eastern side in 2011–12.

The 8.8 km project, which branches off on MSI Road at the Rajakilpakkam junction and continues via Agaramthen Road up to Perungalathur, is designed to divert traffic from Madipakkam, Velachery, Thiruvanmiyur, and Adyar away from Tambaram.
