Road maintenance work between the Paranur tollbooth in Chengalpattu district and the Acharappakkam Attur tollbooth is causing massive traffic jams on the Chennai-Tiruchy National Highway. The 50-kilometer stretch has brought traffic to a crawl, with commuters facing delays of over three hours.
The road has been in poor condition since last year’s monsoon, with numerous potholes forming between the Attur and Paranur tollbooths. Despite repeated public calls for repairs, the National Highways Department delayed action until now. With this year`s monsoon approaching, repair work has finally begun, and contractors are currently working to rehabilitate the damaged section of the highway.
