The TamilNadu Road Development Company (TNRDC) has planned a foot overbridge linking the MRTS station and the West Avenue Road beside Thiruvanmayur, so as to bring in safety for the people at the congested Tidel park junction.
TNRDC seeks permission for this project from Chennai Corporation and request for the 50% funds for this proposal which comes around Rs.1.40 Crores.
Presently, during the peak hour’s hell a lot of commuters come out of the MRTS station at the Tidel Park. Passengers moving towards Siruseri facing struggle to cross the West Avenue Road in the midst of the heavy traffic, TNDRC sources said.
Quite a lot of recommendations have been given by the traffic police, Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority, and the TNDRC to build additional overbridge for commuters passing West Avenue Road, said the official.
People who regularly travel to Perungudi find it very difficult to cross the road. Most often, vehicles do not halt on the signal and particularly at those times, people are forced to rush across the road to catch the share autos from the auto stand.
In the same way, parents and disabled children from the adjacent school, finds tough to cross the road. The police should make certain that the traffic signal should sign stop at least when such kind of people cross the road.
The blueprint for the 150 meter long foot overbridge is been designed, said the TNRDC sources.
