Tambaram Eastern Bypass project throws life out of gear for residents of Selaiyur

CHENNAI: Poor illumination coupled with dug-up roads makes travelling along the Tambaram Eastern Bypass risky. Besides, garbage is strewn across the service lane, which is used for anti-social activities at night. The Tambaram Eastern Bypass project proposes to connect Rajakilpakkam and Peerkankaranai on the GST Road. The road has so far been laid till Selaiyur.

“Though the road has been laid, work on the service road is not over. Blocks of cement were laid to form the periphery of the service lane long ago, and nothing has been done since. Residents have started disposing garbage on the lane,” said Dayanand Krishnan, a resident. The newly-laid stretch has garbage strewn all over. This is the case for 2.5 km, from Agaramthen village to Mappedu junction.
