Chennai: With the existing highway choking with traffic every day, the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to construct an all-new Expressway between Chennai and Tiruchi or beyond. The proposed 8-lane expressway will begin at Chennai Peripheral Ring Road near Singaperumal Koil while the exit has not been decided yet. The officials say the expressway may end at Tiruchi or even go beyond it. Highways officials are considering the Detailed Project Report (DPR) to get green signal for the project, according to sources.

Chennai- Salem Eight-Lane Expressway project shelved
The state’s first proposed Salem – Chennai 8-lane expressway project was shelved amid strong opposition from the residents over land acquisition. After this, now, the National Highways Department has decided to construct the second expressway route connecting Chennai and Trichy under the second phase of the “Bharatmala Pariyojana” project.
To further transform Tamil Nadu’s transport network and improve travel comfort, the Highways Department has proposed the construction of the 160 km Pilliyarpatti Thoothukudi Expressway. The highway will connect several districts as well as the Chennai-Trichy Expressway. These two highways will add about 470 km of state-planned road and network.
The Chennai- Trichy Expressway will be connected to cities like Thanjavur, Sivagangai, and Thoothukudi via various highway routes.
A boost to Tamil Nadu’s economy
The proposed Chennai-Trichy Expressway is a necessary infrastructure to handle heavy traffic in the state and reduce congestion. Apart from facilitating regional connectivity between connected cities, the expressway is expected to boost the state’s economy by attracting investments, promoting trade, and creating employment opportunities.
