Residents urge govt to complete Tambaram Eastern Bypass project

CHENNAI: Residents of South Chennai haved urged the government to complete the Tambaram Eastern Bypass project which proposes to connect Rajakilpakkam with Peerkankaranai on the GST Road. The project has been pending for over a decade now.

“The project once complete will ease traffic in Perungalathur and reduce travel time to Southern districts. Also, it is a boon for those living in South Chennai including Velachery, Nanganallur, Madipakkam, Thiruvanmiyur and Adyar among others, as they can directly reach the bypass by taking a right from Medavakkam. Now, since all vehicles pass through Perungalathur, traffic jams are inevitable,” said E Varathan, a resident of Madipakkam.
