FOBs rusting away?

Chennai | Friday | 20th July, 2018

Summary:

There are many foot overbridges between Tidel Park and Sholinganallur junction on Rajiv Gandhi Salai; but none of them has been put to optimal use. On Kottivakkam FOB, there are minor cracks resulting from rusting. The floor on many of these FOBs, especially the ones at Kottivakkam, Perungudi and Thoraipakkam, are rust-ridden. At Tidel Park, the metal walkway was replaced with a cemented surface a few months ago. According to a TNRDC official, repair and renovation of FOBs will be taken up at a cost of ?14 lakh and tenders will be floated soon..
