MAKING WAY: Trees felled near Karasangal village along the Vandalur-Wallajahbad Road as part of the Oragadam Industrial Corridor Road project. TAMBARAM: Preliminary works on the Rs.300-crore Oragadam Industrial Corridor Road project have started. The project, executed by the Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation and funded through the State Highways Department, is expected to give a thrust to industrial activity in the Oragadam-Sriperumbudur clusters. It will also provide additional connectivity between Grand Southern Trunk Road (National Highway 45) and Grand Western Trunk Road (NH 4 or Bangalore Highway). Under the project, two roads will be upgraded - State Highway 48 between Vandalur and Wallajahbad and State Highway 57 between Singaperumal Koil and Sriperumbudur. The project has been split into four packages - S.P. Koil to Oragadam; Oragadam to Sriperumbudur; Vandalur to Oragadam and from there to Wallajahbad. In addition, a grade separator will be built at Oragadam, at the intersection of roads leading to the other four places. A sum of Rs.182 crore has been earmarked for the 24.6-km road between S.P. Koil and Sriperumbudur and 81.74 hectares of land in 28 villages will be acquired for expansion on this stretch. In the first phase, the entire stretch will be converted as a four-lane highway and later, the segment between Oragadam and Sriperumbudur alone would be converted into a six-lane segment considering the phenomenal increase in traffic on this stretch in the past few years, officials of TNRIDC told The Hindu on Saturday. And Rs.117.8 crore has been allotted for the 33.4-km long stretch between Vandalur and Wallajahbad and 22.6 hectares in 19 villages would be acquired for the purpose. Of the Rs.300 crore, Rs.74 crore has been earmarked for land acquisition, while the rest would be for civil works, including the grade separator at Oragadam, the officials said. A road over bridge is being built at the cost of Rs.20 crore to replace the railway level crossing near Vandalur Railway Station (LC No. 34) at the intersection of GST Road and the road leading to Wallajahbad via Oragadam.
