CHENNAI: The 20-year-long wait of 20,000 inhabitants of Pasiyavaram Island in Pulicat for safe mobility during monsoon seems to have been extended as the state highways department is yet to complete the bridge work over Pulicat lake waters.
The work for the bridge connecting the island and the Chennai-Pulicat road, which started in 2020, was expected to be completed in 2022. While the concrete structure of the bridge was completed in January 2023, finishing work on both ends of the bridge has not been completed yet, putting the islanders at harm’s way this monsoon season as well.
