CHENNAI: Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari, who visited Chennai on Wednesday, suggested that the elevated flyover between Chennai Port and Maduravoyal could be built in double-decker model.
The State has been asking for three ramps to be provided on the stretch. “The construction of double decker flyover, would increase the project cost substantially, from Rs 3,100 crore to Rs 5,000 crore. The Centre may consider waiving off GST for cement and other materials, and thereby reduce the cost by Rs 400 crore.
