10 congested roads to be enlarged by the Corporation
The Chennai Corporation has recently come up with a proposal which will widen over 10 roads which are congested. Some of them include Madras Race Club, Nelson Manickam Road, Santhome and Kodambakkam. This shall encourage the spirits of several commuters.
The Corporation Council has decided to pass a total of 48 resolutions which includes several plans to enlarge the roads of the city. Some of it also includes acquisition of private land that too by the civic body which has been finished in terms of the Race Course Club. The commuter V S Lingaperumal has also said that there shall be a bus stand located opposite the train station which is always full of traffic jams since the road is so narrow.
The process of widening the roads shall begin very soon and there are several streets which are on the verge of becoming concrete. The corporation has also said that the Metro Water has been keeping the work on hold in over 300 roads all over the city. The road works have not been completed so far because of the laying of sewage pipes as well as the drinking water pipes.
