The construction work on the first phase of the Chennai Peripheral Road (CPR) aimed at improving the connectivity of container movement from southern industrial districts to Ennore and Kattupuli, involving an investment of ₹2,470 crore, is all set to start shortly. The Central government and the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) have already signed an agreement to fund the project. The land acquisition process for the five-phase 133 km Peripheral Road is in the final stages and once the project starts, it is likely to be completed by 2024. The project is expected to improve the connectivity in and around Chennai by formulating the radial-ring road network in collaboration with other ring roads such as Inner Ring Road, the Chennai Bypass and Outer Ring Road to provide alternative routes for traffic as well as improve the road network. It will also provide direct access to Ennore Port and Kattupalli Port from industrial clusters located in suburban areas of Chennai Metropolitan Area to accelerate industrial and economic growth.
