The long-awaited 20-kilometer two-tier elevated corridor between Chennai Port and Maduravoyal is slated to open shortly.
The Tamilnadu government, the Chennai Port Authority, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), and the Navy inked a memorandum of understanding for the Rs 5,855-crore four-lane project here on Monday.
According to an official announcement, the NHAI would construct the corridor, with the first tier reserved for local vehicles up to Koyambedu from the Port with 13 entry-exit points and the second layer reserved for heavy trucks from the Port to Maduravoyal.
According to the government, the project has been delayed for years owing to different factors, and attempts to accomplish it have led to the signing of the MoU.
