CHENNAI:
In a bid to reduce traffic congestion due to the operation of new bus terminus in Kilambakkam, which is likely to open next month, the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority is planning to construct a roundabout and widen roads besides providing idle parking for private Omni Buses at Outer Ring Road in Varadharajapuram,
A roundabout will be constructed at Guduvanchery while different stretches of road will be widened to ease traffic congestion. These include widening the road from Guduvancheri, Madambakkam road to Mannivakkam of about 7 km; from Kandigai to Guduvancheri of about 18 km; and from Nallampakkam to Urapakkam GST Road (10 km), a release stated.
