Posted on: 07/Jan/2025 10:55:50 AM

Chennai residents face worsening traffic congestion on Paul Wells Road near St. Thomas Mount as Metro Rail Phase II construction for Corridor 5 (Madhavaram–Sholinganallur) progresses. The construction has reduced road width, causing severe jams, especially during peak hours.

Motorists and pedestrians navigate through chaos as heavy machinery occupies much of the road. Commuters like IT professional C. Ashok highlight the struggles during early morning hours, compounded by insufficient traffic regulation and a lack of police presence.

With dust clouds and constant jams, the road leading to Kathipara Flyover has become a daily challenge for Chennaiites.
