Due to the ongoing construction of the proposed four-lane elevated corridor by the Highways Department on Anna Salai, from Teynampet to Saidapet, traffic diversions will be implemented on a trial basis for three days, from Sunday (April 20, 2025) to Tuesday (April 22, 2025).
All vehicles from Teynampet to Saidapet will be diverted via Cenotaph Road, Turnbulls Junction, right turn towards Chamiers Road (Pasumpon Muthuramalinga Devar Road), Nandanam Junction, and left/right turn towards Anna Salai.
All vehicles from Saidapet to Chamiers Road will be restricted. These vehicles will instead proceed via Anna Salai, Cenotaph Road, and then Chamiers Road to reach their destination.
G.K. Moopanar (GKM) Bridge will be a ‘one way’ from Cenotaph Road, and there will be no entry for vehicles coming from Gandhi Mandapam Road. The Rathna Nagar Main Road will also be a ‘one way’ from Cenotaph Road, and there will be no entry from Anna Salai (while entry is allowed from Cenotaph 1st Street, there is no entry from Cenotaph 1st Main Road), the traffic police said.
Vehicles from Kotturpuram to Teynampet via Cenotaph Road will be restricted. Instead, they will take the left at GKM Flyover Service Road Turnbulls Junction and proceed towards Chamiers Road, Nandanam Junction, and Anna Salai to reach their destination.
To ensure smooth traffic flow, Anna Salai, Cenotaph Road, Chamiers Road, and the surrounding one-way loop roads will be declared ‘no parking zones’.
