The second flyover is built at the intersection of Konnur High Road-Strahan’s Road and it will be made at a price of Rs 62 crore. The Konnur High Road is an important point that is connecting Villivakkam, Perambur Jamalia via Cooks Road, Pattalam via Strahans Road, and Purasawalkam via Brick Kiln Road.
Since the junction has an important point connecting different vital areas of the city, there is bound to be huge traffic congestion, said the civic body. The two-lane bi-directional flyover would be 508 metres long and 8.4 metres wide.
The flyover at South Usman Road, a central shopping hub, is launched to be constructed at a cost of Rs 131 crore between Usman Road and CIT Nagar. It would be 120 metres long and 8.4 metres wide. Development projects should always be constructed in a timely manner so that people can travel to and fro and more business activities can be held for the prosperity and advancement of the city, state, and overall nation.
