Tambaram Flyover Crack Disrupts Traffic Flow

Damage on Mudichur Side of Flyover Leads to Congestion

A crack on the Tambaram flyover in Chennai caused heavy traffic on Wednesday morning. The flyover stretches from MCC College on East Tambaram-Velachery Road to ESI Hospital on West Tambaram-Mudichur Road at one end. The other end links Irumbuliyur on the Chennai-Trichy National Highway to the West Tambaram bus stand.

Crack on Mudichur Side of Flyover Slows Traffic

• The crack occurred on the Mudichur side of the flyover
• Structural damage was visible on the roundabout-bound route

The crack, which seemed to be structural damage, was found on the Mudichur side of the flyover, along the route leading to the roundabout. This development forced vehicles traveling from Mudichur Road towards the flyover roundabout to move slowly, leading to severe traffic congestion on the flyover.
