The Chennai Corporation has premeditated to broaden 14 stretches that are expected to witness an increase in traffic flow once Chennai Metro is completed. Chennai Metro Rail Ltd. (CMRL) has finished civil work on a number of stations and has now requested the Chennai Corporation to use the land it had get hold of a few years ago to widen roads.
A number of roads near proposed Metro stations on Anna Salai will also be widened after work on the stations is completed.
Work on new link roads, connecting Kaliamman Koil Street near Vadapalani and Poonamallee High Road through Nerkundram Main Road, is also likely to begin shortly.
Wider roads will also be specially designed to handle high-density traffic near the Metro stations.
