Potholes and cattle test motorists on Chennai's Wall Tax Road

Chennai | Monday | 7th October, 2019

Summary:

Omjasvin MD ByExpress News ServiceCHENNAI: Wall Tax Road, adjacent to Central railway station, despite being an important route connecting central parts of the city to North Chennai, is riddled with potholes and broken medians. For instance, near Elephant Gate bus stop, bitumen has completely disappeared and the road has not been levelled. It is believed, Wall Tax Road eventually derived its name thus. Though buses from Elephant Gate passing through this road have been temporarily re-routed, this road is still crucial for buses from Central. At present, heavy vehicles are restricted on Elephant Gate bridge as it is being reconstructed..
