Kathipara Grade Separator
The junction used to be a roundabout and was the site of the statue of India's first prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru. A cloverleaf grade separator has been constructed as part of the NHDP to ease traffic congestion at the junction. The structure was built at an estimated project cost of 4,860 million with an initial deadline of March 2007. It is the first of three grade separators being built on the Inner Ring Road to improve connectivity between the various National Highways radiating from the city, the other two being the one on Koyambedu junction (NH 4) near the Chennai Mofussil Bus Terminus and the one at Padi Junction (NH 205).

Famous quotes containing the word grade:
“Life begins at six—at least in the minds of six-year-olds. . . . In kindergarten you are the baby. In first grade you put down the baby. . . . Every first grader knows in some osmotic way that this is real life. . . . First grade is the first step on the way to a place in the grown-up world.”
