Centre in JV with TN to build 20.6-km elevated road
The Centre and the Tamil Nadu government have come together to build a 20.6-km long double-layered elevated road in Chennai, connecting Madhuravoyal in the city with the Chennai Port. A Memorandum of Understanding for the key expressway project has been signed between the State Government, the National Highway Authority of India, the Chennai Port Trust and the Indian Navy in Chennai. The major road infrastructure project will have two decks: the topmost layer is meant for trucks to and from Madhuravoyal and the port, while the lower deck will be for passenger vehicles. The lower layer will have ramps at key locations for vehicles to enter and exit. The project was envisaged as a single-layered elevated road way back in 2010 with an estimated cost of about ₹3,100 crore but work on it stalled with the change of government in the state. It is now being built as a double-deck expressway.
