At the intersection of two highways in Sriperumbudur, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) proposed building a trumpet-shaped interchange to aid in the smooth passage of traffic.
The Wallajapet Section of NH48 would be connected to the trumpet intersection by the Bengaluru-Chennai Greenfield Expressway (BCGE), Maduravoyal, and the Sriperumbudur toll plaza.
Under the Bharatmala project, the NHAI has announced a tender to build the trumpet interchange for Rs 129 crore.
According to Savithri Devi, project director of the NHAI Project Implementation Unit (Kancheepuram), the contract for the engineering procurement construction method would be granted by June or July. She declared that the purchase of the site for the trumpet interchange was finished. She said, “We have not yet taken possession of the land.”
The vehicles entering and exiting the greenfield expressway to Bengaluru from Chennai would have to take the proposed trumpet interchange before the Sriperumbudur toll plaza. The 262 km Bengaluru-Chennai Greenfield Expressway commences at Hosakote near Bengaluru and ends at Sriperumbudur running a distance of 262 km via Chittoor in Andhra Pradesh. The entirely new alignment is being built in the 3 states under 10 packages to make sure that the works would be executed in the fixed time duration.
