CHENNAI: The arterial stretch connecting Adambakkam and Guindy, the City Link Road used by at least 40,000 people every day is plagued with several issues. Battered roads, garbage disposal on either side of the road and rampant encroachments are a few to mention.“Commuters are having a harrowing time on this stretch as they are stranded for hours during peak time.
It has been over five years since the issue got severe and I have not seen one vehicle being towed by the authorities,” complained Priya Darshini, a long-time resident of Adambakkam.The stretch is used by the residents of Adambakkam, Velachery, St Thomas Mount and the areas in the vicinity to reach Guindy Race Course and vice versa. “About two years ago, half of the stretch was dug to lay sewage pipelines and was not relaid properly, resulting in a lot of potholes along the stretch.
