According to the proposed plan, a single pier 2.50 metre wide will be built in the median with a vertical clearance of 5.5 metre and will serve as dual deck elevated corridor at certain places and at a times triple-decked. The elevated road will be at first level above ground and Chennai Metro rail will be on the second level and the road will connect SRP and Siruseri junctions with entry and exit ramps at Perungudi junction, Thoraipakkam, Sholinganallur junction and Siruseri junctions.
