Status check: Deputy Chief Minister M.K. Stalin at the Perambur flyover construction site on Friday. — CHENNAI: Deputy Chief Minister M.K.Stalin on Friday said that encroachments that impeded the smooth flow of traffic from the Perambur flyover would be removed in a phased manner after the facility was opened. Speaking to mediapersons after inspecting the construction work of the flyover, he said that it was expected to be opened to traffic by December, two months ahead of schedule. Necessary permissions had been obtained from the Railways for taking up work over the portion belonging to it, he added. Mr. Stalin also discussed the project details with Mayor M. Subramanian, Chennai Metrowater Managing Director Shiv Das Meena, Secretary to the Department of Municipal Administration and Water Supply Niranjan Mardi and Chennai Corporation Commissioner (in-charge) Ashish Chatterjee. The Mayor said that after the inauguration of the flyover, foot overbridges would be constructed if required by the pedestrians. “We will discuss it with the traffic police and take a decision.” A senior official of the Chennai Corporation explained that the flyover would be 1.12-km-long. It would be 13 metres in height at its highest point as it would go over the existing railway track there. Tank Bund Road and Paper Mills Road would become one-ways after the flyover was opened to traffic. Certain portions of North Perambur High Road have been widened to facilitate easy traffic flow. Ten decks and 29 footings have been completed so far. The existing subway beneath the flyover would remain open and for use of two and three wheelers. Two parks would come up on the open space beneath the flyover, the official explained.
