Traffic on Rangarajapuram flyover to be one-way
Posted on: 15/Oct/2012 11:17:50 AM
Rangarajapuram flyover, which is to be inaugurated on Today(15Oct,2012) by chief minister J Jayalalithaa, will be one of the few in the city to have traffic flowing in opposing directions during different parts of the day. With land acquisition being a hurdle, the flyover was built very narrow and is incapable of handling two-way traffic.
To beat this, the corporation has suggested that the traffic flow on the flyover be directed differently through the day.
The vehicular flow be from Kodambakkam and Rangarajapuram towards commercial areas like Valluvarkottam and Mount Road. These neighbourhoods are thickly populated and home to a large number of two-wheelers
The flyover starts on Bazullah Road and splits. The two arms lead to the Railway Border Road and one lands near the Kodambakkam railway station and the other near Chakrapani Street.
The 962-metre Y-shaped flyover was built at a cost of 24 crore. The construction started in 2008 and the first arm was completed in September 2011.
