South Chennai breathes easier today after Tamil Nadu CM MK Stalin opened the Rs 60.68 crore L-shaped flyover at Central Kailash junction. This 652-meter elevated corridor directly tackles the infamous snarls plaguing Sardar Patel Road’s intersection with Rajiv Gandhi Salai.
The junction, notorious for backups stretching to IIT Madras, Adyar Cancer Institute, and OMR’s IT parks, sees vehicles from all angles clashing daily. The new flyover changes the game by offering signal-free passage for Adyar-to-Guindy and Rajiv Gandhi Salai-to-Guindy routes.
During his pre-launch inspection aboard an official vehicle, Stalin experienced firsthand the smooth two-lane, one-way design crafted for safety and efficiency.
What sets this apart is the clever L-bend at the crossroads, enabling overhead traffic to flow uninterrupted while ground vehicles proceed unhindered. It’s a blueprint for intelligent infrastructure.
Commuters enduring hour-long delays on these paths will now zip through, boosting productivity and reducing stress. This initiative aligns with Tamil Nadu’s broader vision for smarter cities.
As the flyover integrates into daily life, expectations rise for accelerated development in Chennai’s southern belt, potentially inspiring replicate successes elsewhere.
