More than 40 of the 114 projects currently underway in Tamil Nadu are running behind schedule due land acquisition delays among others.

Attributed to the reason that two major road projects in the city are incomplete and running behind schedule, commuters are experiencing difficulties as they are forced to take longer routes to their destinations.

For the next nine weeks, traveling along the Chennai-Tindivanam national highway would be challenging due to traffic being diverted to facilitate Palar Bridge repair work near Chengalpet.

The repair work on the Goraguntepalya flyover on Tumakuru Road (NH 4) is expected to take another week as the authorities have opted to undertake extra tests to verify structural stability before reopening it.

The Union ministry of road transport and highways stated that nine national highway projects worth 61.37 billion had been delayed for an extended period of time due to delays/refusal to grant permission for extraction of borrow earth, Covid-19, acquisition of land, forest and environmental clearances, shifting of utility services, and sluggish progress of work by contractors.

The 29-km Dwarka Expressway is being built in four phases, the first two of which are in Delhi and the third and fourth of which are in Gurugram.

Though almost 95 per cent of the project’s work has been completed, the tunnel’s road surface remains unfinished due to the cold weather’s inability to use bituminous construction material, which is required for building coaltar-asphalt roads.

The city’s major development projects have been harmed by sluggish work caused by pandemic circumstances and delayed funding. Despite the fact that they were launched several years ago, these are unlikely to see the light of day in the near future.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed entirely blocking Shiradi Ghat for six months in order to construct a four-lane road connecting Donigal on the outskirts of Sakleshpur to Maranahalli (220 to 230 km).

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has halted the ambitious 32-kilometer greenfield project in Mohali, deeming farmers’ demand for greater compensation for land acquisition financially unviable.
