CHENNAI: After months of delay following heavy monsoon damage, the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC) is set to begin relaying more than 1, 000 roads across the city from February, with an estimated outlay of Rs 200 crore.
The works will focus on some of the worst-affected stretches battered by recent rains, particularly in Adyar, Teynampet, Kodambakkam, West Mambalam and Anna Nagar.
In addition to surface roads, about five key underpasses -- including the Nungambakkam, Madley Road and Stanley Government Hospital subways -- will also be relaid.
Officials said necessary traffic diversions would be implemented to facilitate the uninterrupted execution of the works.
