The construction work on the six-lane road connecting the Thoraipakkam-Pallavaram Radial Road with the East Coast Road (ECR) in Tamil Nadu is all set to start and is expected to be completed by the end of next year. The project will ensure smooth flow of vehicular traffic as it will divert some vehicles from Rajiv Gandhi Salai, popularly known as Old Mahabalipuram Road. In the first phase, the state highways department will construct a 750 m-long stretch that will take off from OMR and end near Canal Bank Road, running along the Buckingham Canal that is parallel to both OMR and ECR. In the process, Canal Bank Road would be widened into two lanes to provide connectivity to the existing bridges across the canal. Land acquisition for the first phase has been completed and tenders had also been floated. The major chunk of targeted funds will go to land acquisition and the local transport ministry has written to the Public Works Department requesting it to remove encroachments along the canal thereby paving the way for initiating construction work as quickly as possible.
