The Tamil Nadu government, represented by Public Works Minister Velu, recently submitted an 11-point petition to Central Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. Among the key demands was the construction of service roads along the bypass road connecting Madhavaram to Tambaram and Irumbuliyur. This includes addressing the lack of service roads in areas like Ambattur Estate and Pattaravakkam. In response, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has planned to construct the missing segments of the service roads to improve connectivity and infrastructure.
The Tamil Nadu government has initiated a significant step toward improving road infrastructure by addressing the lack of service roads along the bypass connecting Madhavaram, Tambaram, and Irumbuliyur. During a recent meeting in Delhi, Tamil Nadu’s Public Works Minister Velu presented an 11-point petition to Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari. A prominent focus of the petition was on the construction of service roads in key areas like Ambattur Estate and Pattaravakkam, which currently lack adequate infrastructure for local and through traffic.
The bypass road serves as a crucial link in Chennai's transportation network, connecting various residential, industrial, and commercial zones. However, the absence of proper service roads has caused significant inconvenience for commuters and businesses, leading to bottlenecks and safety concerns. Service roads play a vital role in easing traffic flow, providing local access without disrupting main highway routes, and enhancing connectivity to surrounding areas.
Responding to the petition, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has recognized the necessity of these missing segments and announced plans to construct service roads along the identified stretches. This development is expected to improve traffic management and boost the region's overall economic and social development by facilitating smoother transport for people and goods. Once completed, the project will serve as an example of collaborative governance between state and central agencies to address regional infrastructure needs effectively.
