Posted on: 22/Jan/2014 2:52:44 PM
Santhome High Road is one of the major roads in Chennai which suffers from traffic bottlenecks. The civic body will soon commence preparation of a land plan schedule for widening the stretch from Light House to Foreshore Estate. Following the preparation of the schedule, the district collectorate will appoint a special officer for the land acquisition process.
The crucial link for the city�s southern zones passes through wards 125 and 126. Councilors of the wards said there was heavy traffic congestion on the road and the widening would have a positive impact on the neighborhood.
As a number of educational institutions and heritage buildings are located on the road, the Corporation will also have to obtain clearance from the Heritage Conservation Committee of the Chennai metropolitan area.
