Tamil Nadu Road Infrastructure Development Corporation (TNRIDC) is all set to start the road widening of the 16-km road stretch between Oragadam and Walajabad into six lanes highway. The move aimed at catering to the increasing vehicular movement on the Oragadam industrial corridor and to ease congestion between Chennai and Kancheepuram stretch via Walajabad. The road project estimated to cost Rs.163 crore entailed the scope of work of widening the existing road into six lanes with 12.5 meter carriageway on both sides, besides 0.61 metre width median. The existing road has a width of seven to nine metres from Oragadam to Walajabad passing through Mettupalayam, Thollazhi and Vellapakkam villages. As a matter of fact, the widening of stretch was part of upgrading 57 km long Oragadam Industrial Corridor Project road into six lanes, involving a 24 km road from Singaperumalkoil to Sriperumbudur of State highways 57 and 33.3 km road from Vandalur to Walajabad in State highways 48, said official sources.
