After years of delay, the Vadapalani flyover at the intersection of Jawarharlal Nehru Road and Arcot Road is ready. The 600-metre-long bi-directional flyover runs parallel below the viaduct of Chennai Metro Rail near the Vadapalani station and once operational, it will ease traffic on both the roads. Chennai Metro Rail sources said they had finished their portion of the construction of the flyover and handed it over to the Highways department recently. Now that the construction will be completed in a few days, Chennai Metro Rail plans to open the flyover for vehicular traffic soon. CMRL constructed the main structure of the flyover and the Highways Department widened the road, constructed stormwater drains, formed service lanes and constructed the approach ramps.
