The highways department demolished the landmark Anna Arch, to make way for two flyovers and a subway on Saturday Night.
According to officials at the Highways Department, the structure was too heavy for a relocation. Hence, it was decided that both the arches be demolished. “An exact replica of the structure would be built at a spot chosen by the Corporation".
The arch will make way for flyovers and a subway aimed at decongesting traffic at the junction that has seen rapid development over the last decade. Anna Nagar, named after Annadurai and which began with a few housing colonies, has now become an upmarket hot spot of the city.
