Work to widen 10.5 km urban stretch will commence within this financial year
After several years of delay, work to widen the 10.5 km urban stretch of the East Coast Road (ECR) from Thiruvanmiyur to Akkarai is likely to commence within this financial year. “Wherever we could, we have widened the road into six lanes. With the land acquisition process nearing completion and payments being made to property owners, we hope to complete around 80% of the widening by the end of the current financial year,” said a source in the Highways Department. The project was initially announced in 2005 and a token amount of ₹10 crore was sanctioned by the government.More Related News
