Road Improvement Projects
In an effort to circumvent these longstanding problems, many infrastructure projects are being carried out on this highway including road over-bridges along the Chennai Meenambakkam Airport road and several rail over-bridges over the railway crossings on the highway, which can cut travel time as well as reduce traffic congestion. The six-lane system is currently extended between Tindivanam and Trichy for a distance of around 225 km (140 mi). Road sections between Tindivanam and Trichy, cholan nagar Trichy and Dindigul are opened to public traffic with the newly laid 4-lane system.

Famous quotes containing the words road, improvement and/or projects:
“Future contingents cannot be certain to us, because we know them as such. They can be certain only to God whose understanding is in eternity above time. Just as a man going along a road does not see those who come after him; but the man who sees the whole road from a height sees all those who are going along the road at the same time.”
—Thomas Aquinas (c. 1225–1274)
“We are accustomed to say, that the mass of men are unprepared; but improvement is slow, because the few are not materially wiser or better than the many.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“But look what we have built ... low-income projects that become worse centers of delinquency, vandalism and general social hopelessness than the slums they were supposed to replace.... Cultural centers that are unable to support a good bookstore. Civic centers that are avoided by everyone but bums.... Promenades that go from no place to nowhere and have no promenaders. Expressways that eviscerate great cities. This is not the rebuilding of cities. This is the sacking of cities.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
