A court case held up the ₹93.50-crore project on Jawaharlal Nehru Salai, says Highways Minister
The work on the 1.15-km flyover on Jawaharlal Nehru Salai at Koyambedu will be completed by October-end, Minister for Highways E.V. Velu said on Saturday.
Responding to AIADMK co-coordinator Edappadi K. Palaniswami, he said in a statement that on the instruction of Chief Minister M.K. Stalin, he had inspected the flyover twice since July and directed the officials to speed up the ₹93.50-crore project.
The owner of a building that had encroached upon a portion of the service lane had gone to court, leading to a delay in the completion of the work. The court granted an order in favour of the Department of Highways only on September 29, and the building was being dismantled. The structure of the bridge, of which construction had commenced in June 2018, was complete, he said.
