The Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) on Wednesday announced that 25 km of roads across the city will be revamped for ‘quick wins’.

Additionally, the designs and details for about 100 km of roads are ready as well. 

Under ‘quick wins’, a few portions of the proposed 110 km long project will be revamped initially.

The GCC has already identified consultants for the same after issuing tenders.

“We cannot focus on all 110-km of roads right now under the project owing to the paucity of funds.

Under quick wins, we have chalked out certain portions of the roads to be revamped.

Quick wins will focus on roads across Chennai, thus giving a city-wide representation.

This will also ensure that there is no assumption that only T Nagar (Pedestrian Plaza) is getting revamped under the project”, G Prakash, IAS, the Commissioner of the GCC told indianexpress.com.

Phase I of the Mega Streets project will focus on 110 km of arterial roads in the localities of Anna Nagar, Tondiarpet, Velachery, Nungambakkam, Adyar, and Mylapore.
