The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) has begun constructing a permanent wooden ramp at Elliot`s Beach in Besant Nagar to enhance accessibility for the differently-abled. Similar to a recently installed ramp at Marina Beach, this new structure will enable easier beach access for all visitors.
The project, approved by the Tamil Nadu Coastal Regulation Zone Authority, is estimated to cost around Rs. 1.61 crore. The ramp will be 190 meters long and 2.80 meters wide, made from treated wood. Officials expect the construction to be completed within four months.
