Traffic Diversion in Central Kailash Area from August 1 Due to Flyover Construction

Due to ongoing flyover construction work, traffic diversions will be implemented in the Central Kailash area starting Friday, August 1. The Chennai Metropolitan Police Traffic Division issued a press release on Wednesday outlining the changes.

The construction is underway from the Central Kailash junction on Rajiv Gandhi Salai to the Tidal Park junction. As a result, the road width on Rajiv Gandhi Salai has been reduced, causing significant traffic congestion, especially during morning hours.

To ease the congestion, a temporary traffic diversion will be enforced daily from 8:30 AM to 11:00 AM. Vehicles traveling from the Central Kailash junction towards Tidal Park will be permitted to use a 300-meter stretch of the opposite lane (normally used for Tidal Park to Central Kailash traffic) up to the U-turn near VHS Hospital.

This arrangement will take effect from Friday, August 1, and aims to streamline traffic flow during peak hours.
