Driving on Velachery Main Road, a nightmare for motorists
The Hindu
Absence of stormwater drain renders it unmotorable
As the death of a motorist caused by a pothole on Anna Salai on Monday remains fresh in memory, it is a daily struggle for the motorists on Velachery Main Road.
A portion of the road, which is managed by the Bus Route Road division of the Greater Chennai Corporation, is ridden with potholes and craters making it a nightmare to drive on the road. Road cutting at several places by utility agencies, including the Tangedco and the water board, has made matters worse.
Running through the old parts of Velachery, it is a busy road as several government offices, commercial establishments, and multi-storeyed apartments exist all along the arterial way.
