CHENNAI: The Bus Rapid Transit System (BRTS) is likely to take off on the 10-km Radial Road between Chromepet and Thoraipakkam first, if the government gets a positive response during public consultations which is scheduled from Saturday, according to official sources. “Wherever the roads are already wide, it will be useful for BRTS. It could be successful in the Radial Road,’’ the sources said.
Interestingly, expansion of the Radial Road from four lanes to six lanes has been underway for a while now and is midway to completion. Public hearings will be conducted by Pallavan Transport Consultancy Services (PTCS) from August 3 to 8 in five localities of the city between 10 am and 5 pm and later, a fresh Detailed Project Report will be prepared.
