Tambaram’s Eastern Bypass

Tambaram’s Eastern Bypass awaits land for construction

Residents, living in a total of 188 houses, encroaching on various government lands in three revenue villages, have to be provided with alternative housing and shifted, if Chennai’s Eastern bypass from Perungalathur to Rajakilpakkam is to be completed.

The 9.3-km-long bypass for Tambaram, running from Rajakilpakkam on Tambaram – Velachery Road to Perungalathur on the GST Road, was a project envisaged in the CMDA’s first Master plan in 1979. The State government sanctioned ₹1 crore as a token amount for land acquisition in 2004.

After a two-year delay, Union government gives in-principle nod for diverting land belonging to the Vandalur Reserve Forest to build the last leg of the tambaram eastern byepass.

The Tambaram Eastern Bypass, proposed in 2004, aims to ease traffic on GST Road in Tambaram, Chromepet, and Pallavaram. While a 4.5-km stretch has been completed, the remaining sections were delayed due to land acquisition issues.

Meanwhile, the Perungalathur ROB, estimated at Rs 206.83 crore, has seen partial completion, with the final arm connecting Chengalpattu and Tambaram expected to finish once forest land and a Tangedco substation are secured.

The completion of the last leg of the Tambaram Eastern Bypass and Perungalathur Road Over Bridge (ROB) would ease traffic congestion in Tambaram.
