The Hindu
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is in the process of removing a portion of concrete abutment from the Chennai Port-Maduravoyal elevated corridor at Maduravoyal on the Poonamallee High Road.
“It is an identified black spot and the police wanted that ramp portion to be removed to prevent accidents. In the previous design, it was to have been a portion of the ramp where vehicles will climb up to the corridor. But now the length of the corridor has been increased, making the ramp unnecessary,” an NHAI official said. Sources in the traffic police said due to the presence of the structure about 18 m of the road remained inaccessible. “Traffic slows down considerably at the point since only a single lane is available on one side. During peak hours, this becomes a problem,” an official said.
