CHENNAI: Construction of the new flyover at Kaliamman Koil Junction in Koyambedu has been completed and is expected to be inaugurated by end of September. The 1.3-km bi-directional bridge with two lanes on each side has been built at a cost of `93.5 crore. “Works for building approach ramps is also done and lights are being installed,” said a senior official from State Highways.
Once the bridge is thrown open, motorists heading towards Vadapalani from Thirumangalam, Padi and Arumbakkam can skip the highly congested Kaliamman Koil Junction and CMBT signal. Similarly, vehicles coming from Padi and Thirumangalam have to take ‘U’ turn beneath the bridge to enter Kaliamman Koil Road to reach Koyambedu market and Virugambakkam.
