Circular corridor for Chennai

The Tamil Nadu Government has conceived a “farsighted Rs.2,300-crore transportation project” to cater to the increasing traffic in Chennai, Finance Minister K. Anbazhagan said in the Assembly. “Under this project, a circular High Speed Transportation Corridor will be constructed over the banks of water courses in Chennai city such as Adyar river, Buckingham Canal, Cooum river and Mambalam canal and it will be connected to the Chennai bypass road,” he said, adding that this 120-km circular corridor would consist of four-lane and six-lane roads. People who travel from the central parts of Chennai to Tambaram, Rajiv Gandhi IT Corridor and ECR and vehicles from Chennai to cities such as Tirupati, Bangalore and Kolkata will be able to travel much faster.
