The work contract for the two-tiered elevated road project in Chennai Port-Maduraivoal will be awarded in March next year, according to the Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways in Parliament. Responding to a question from DMK MP TR Baalu, the union minister stated that bids for the project have been invited and it is expected to be awarded in March 2023. After the award, the work will start. Gadkari stated that the elevated road project is part of the PM Gati-Shakti National Master Plan and is expected to be completed within 30 months.
