A pedestrian overbridge across Dr Durgabai Deshmukh Road in R. A. Puram was mooted long ago. The buzz from Chennai Corporation’s headquarters is that this project is to be executed soon.
The proposed bridge across the busy main road that connects the Mylapore and Adyar neighborhoods had got the support of the then Mylapore MLA, S. V. Shekher but for some reason, the project was put in the freezer.
Pedestrian crossing is high in the zone near the Adyar bridge, because two large institutions are located here – MGR Janaki College for Women and the Durgabai Deshmukh Hospital which lie on either side of the road.
