CHENNAI: The terrible condition of roads in Medavakkam, Vengaivasal and Shollinganallur have given their residents a tough time in navigating through the localities. Arterial roads that connect IT hubs in Shollinganallur to Medavakkam are riddled with potholes. The residents hesitate to use their vehicles even to run errands and prefer walking instead.
One of the worst affected stretches is Velachery-Tambaram Main Road in Medavakkam. One of the busiest stretches in south Chennai, it is largely a collection of potholes. The ongoing flyover work on the road has added to the trouble. Because of heavy vehicle movements, stones underneath the top layer of the road get exposed and are scattered all over, making it dangerous for motorists, especially at night. Some of the roads in extremely bad conditions are Babu Nagar 1st Main Road, Perumal Kovil Street, Mambakkam Main Road, Madurai Veeran Street, Velachery-Tambaram Road towards Pallikaranai.
