The civic body on Tuesday held a meeting to discuss the feasibility of
four proposed flyovers – between Ega Theatre and Valluvar Kottam
junction; one connecting Arcot Salai, Saligramam and 80 feet Road
junction at K K Nagar, and one between Kotturpuram, Madhya Kailash, and
the last connecting T T K Road, St Mary’s Road and Chamiers Road – with
representatives from agencies such as TNUIFSL (Tamil Nadu Urban
Infrastructure Financial Services Limited) and Metrowater.

A
corporation official said they were considering drop the exit and entry
points at Spurtank Road and Harrington Road in the Ega theatre flyover.
“The project was to construct a 2.7km elevated corridor to help
motorists from Ega theatre to Vallur Kottam in five minutes. This was
also to decongest traffic in six junctions including Ega theatre,
Chetpet, Sterling road, Nungambakkam High Road, Independence Day Park
and Valluvar Kottam. But the points in Harrington Road and Spurtunk Road
may add to congestion in nearby areas”.

Meanwhile, the civic
body had suggested an ‘L’-shape design for the proposed flyover
connecting Kotturpuram to Madhya Kailash. “We wanted to remove the
traffic bottleneck at Madhya Kailash signal. The flyover will be
connected to OMR”.
