Chennais Broadway Bus Terminus to Close in August for Major Redevelopment
Chennai’s iconic Broadway bus terminus will be closed for redevelopment in the first week of August 2025, as the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has completed a temporary bus stand near NRT Bridge, Royapuram on Ibrahim Salai.
The temporary facility includes 55 bus bays, a covered waiting area, RO drinking water, women’s safety features, and 51 toilets, along with a feeding room, first aid, and stormwater drainage. An Aavin parlour and self-help group stalls are also planned.
A 30-month multi-modal transport hub will be developed at Broadway by Chennai Metro Asset Management Ltd. with a total funding of over Rs. 800 crore, including Rs. 200 crore from the State government and a Rs. 74 crore skywalk connecting Metro, suburban rail, and the bus terminus.
Residents have requested better connectivity between the temporary bus stand and Beach Station, and officials have assured action.
