CHENNAI: Walking along Ashok Nagar roads is going to be a all-new experience as the civic body on Tuesday announced that road works will be completed in one year.

Speaking at a public hearing on the proposed world class road project, mayor Saidai S Duraisamy said that the first phase of the project in Ashok Nagar will be completed in a year. Officials said that 3,150 metres in 1st, 4th and 11th avenues in Ashok Nagar and Ambedkar Salai in Kodambakkam have been selected in the first phase of the project. Project consultant

STUP Consultants

suggested an exclusive cycle track of 1.3 km in 1st and 11th avenue.

“The civic body should also involve residents in the project. The proposed world class roads will also ease the

traffic congestion

A corporation official said that land won’t be acquired for the project “but we will remove hawkers from the stretches.”
