The drive from the airport to the upcoming mofussil bus terminus at Kilambakkam in Tamil Nadu will be smooth with the state highway department's decision to speed up the construction of a 10-km long airport-Irumbuliyur elevated corridor project on GST Road accommodating the Chennai Metro Rail Ltd (CMRL) line up to Kilambakkam. While the facility will be a three-deck structure over grade separators or flyovers and remain at two levels along the rest of the alignment, the highway department will soon float tenders for preparing a detailed project report (DPR) that will decide if it will remain a two-deck structure or three-deck facility along its entire stretch. The elevated corridor will be 21 metres high when it is a three-deck facility and 14 metres tall if it runs along at two levels. The decision comes after the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA), which had conducted a feasibility study report for the elevated corridor linking Chennai Airport and Chengalpet, decided to transfer the project to the highways department for its execution. CMDA will continue to be the coordinator for implementation. The project is expected to be in tune with CMRL constructions proposed along the corridor. It will be confined to between the airport and Irumbuliyur since the road beyond that comes under the purview of the NHAI.
