21 Feb 2025 | FOOT OVERBRIDGE CONSTRUCTION AT POONAMALLEE

Event: As part of Chennai Metro’s Phase II Corridor 4 project, a foot overbridge is being constructed at Poonamallee Bypass Metro Station to enhance accessibility. Corridor 4, which connects Poonamallee to Light House via T. Nagar, comprises 27 stations. The Poonamallee-Porur stretch is scheduled to open later this year. However, delays in land acquisition have postponed the completion of one entry/exit point.
Assessment:Construction activities are ongoing, causing occasional delays and minor disruptions in the vicinity. Measures have been taken to minimise commuter inconvenience, but further public disruptions may arise due to land acquisition complications.
Advice: Commuters should plan ahead and expect delays when using the Poonamallee Bypass Metro Station. Nearby businesses may experience intermittent disruptions. Staying informed through Chennai Metro updates will help minimise inconvenience.
