Outer ring road to be extended
Special Correspondent
CHENNAI: The proposed 62 km Outer Ring Road (ORR), which is to connect Minjur in the north with Vandalur in the west, will be further extended to connect East Coast Road, according to K. Allaudin, Tamil Nadu Highways Secretary.
He said the proposed extension of the ORR to ECR would not be a widening of the Vandalur — Kelambakam road. Instead, it would be laid as a separate road located further south of Kelambakam, he added.
The ORR would be 400 feet wide, but only 165 feet will be used as a road. The remaining land will be explored for commercial purposes. He said detail project report exploring the private-public partnership model for executing this project was being prepared with World Bank aid.
As part of other road projects proposed by the Government of Tamil Nadu to improve connectivity around Chennai, East Coast Road will be widened from its present two lanes to four lanes.
Numerous accidents in the area necessitated this, he said.
