The municipal corporation has launched an intensified road maintenance drive to repair damaged roads and pothole-affected stretches across the city. The initiative aims to improve road safety, ensure smoother traffic flow, and address complaints from residents regarding deteriorating road conditions.
Officials from the Greater Chennai Corporation announced that multiple repair teams have been deployed across key areas to identify and fix damaged sections of roads. The maintenance drive includes pothole filling, resurfacing of worn-out stretches, and strengthening of drainage systems to prevent further damage during heavy rains.
According to civic authorities, priority is being given to major traffic corridors, residential neighborhoods, and commercial zones where road damage has caused difficulties for commuters. Special attention is also being paid to areas that experienced severe wear and tear due to recent monsoon conditions and increased vehicle movement.
Modern machinery and asphalt-mixing equipment are being used to speed up repair work and ensure long-lasting results. Officials say the corporation has also established monitoring teams to inspect completed repairs and maintain quality standards.
Residents have welcomed the move, saying improved road conditions will help reduce vehicle damage and accidents. Commuters and public transport operators are expected to benefit from smoother travel and reduced traffic disruptions once the repairs are completed.
Civic officials added that the road maintenance drive will continue in phases across different zones of the city, with plans to strengthen routine inspection and maintenance programs to prevent future road deterioration.News as Reported.
