Metro rail plan holds up work on flyovers
J. Malarvizhi
CHENNAI: Delay in implementation of the metro rail project is holding up work on three flyovers on Anna Salai, which are to be developed with World Bank assistance under the Tamil Nadu Urban Development Project III.
The three facilities have been proposed between Anna Statue and Spencer’s Plaza; from the Eldams Road-Teynampet junction to Saidapet; and at Halda junction, near Guindy. A contractor has been short-listed to conduct a study on the various aspects of the flyover projects, including their design. The study would suggest the number of lanes based on the traffic volume in the area, land availability and the acquisition required, besides the environmental and social impact of the projects, Highways department officials said. The technical stipulations of the flyover projects would have to be exchanged with those executing the metro rail project.
Work on the flyovers would have to be integrated with or carried out along with work on the metro rail project.
It is for the same reason that work on the subways proposed at the TVS signal and Eldams Road on Anna Salai and near the Madras Medical College has been delayed.
The flyovers proposed at Vadapalani, along the Inner Ring Road and at the Thirumangalam junction also need to wait for the metro rail work to begin.
