Chennai:
A new 80 feet wide road connecting Poonamallee High Road
(NH 4) and Koyambedu Wholesale Market Complex 'A' Road is now being planned.
This comes in the wake of handing over possession of
certain lands to Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) and the closure of KWMC 'F'
and 'G' road as Metro Rail begins work
to lay a test track for the four rake train, which is likely to be stationed in
the Rs 198 crore state-of-the-art depot by June.
Sources told Express that a proposal for acquisition of
land measuring an extent of 5.46 hectares in Nerkunram village was sent to the
government through the Thiruvallur district collector for approval to build a
road linking the market and the Poonamallee High road.
It is believed the total funds estimated for acquiring
the land was around Rs 165 crore. Sources said that once the proposal was
forwarded to the government, it raised queries regarding availability of funds
for land acquisition.
Currently, the proposal to acquire land is only for the
80 feet wide road alignment. “The work for total station survey restricting the
Land Acquisition for the 80’ wide road has been awarded to the consultant to
furnish two alternate alignment map for formation of link road and to prepare
revised Land Plan Schedule,” sources said.
