Road repair works in Chennai’s Tiruvottiyur zone, which started more than six months back by the Chennai Corporation, are still incomplete. The Corporation started road Âimprovement works for the eight newly-added arÂeas.
Traffic congestion and encroachments on the Tiruvottiyur High Road, which connects the city to the northern suburbs, are still a problem for residents and motorists.
Commuter of Tiruvottiyur complain that traffic congestion on TH Road is very common. R JayaÂraman, former municipal chairman of Tiruvottiyur, said that the area was much better when it was under municipal administration. Underground draÂinage work had started in this area long back but it was stopped all of a sudden. Streetlights on CH Road and Manali Express Road hardly function. Many interior roads in Tiruvottiyur are in a pathetic state.
Encroachment is another problem in Tiruvottiyur roads. The civic body had earlier said that it would take steps to remove encÂroaÂchments from KalÂadÂiÂpet to Vimco Nagar. StaÂtiÂng that the Highways DepÂarÂtment had started remÂovÂing encroachments, CouÂncillor S Vincent said that the road widening work has already commenced.
