Chennai Port–Maduravoyal Double-Tier Corridor Scheduled for November 2027 Completion.

The 4-lane, double-tier elevated corridor connecting Chennai Port to Maduravoyal, being constructed at a cost of over ₹3,500 crore, is scheduled for completion by November 2027, according to Virender Sambal, Regional Officer of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI).

The 20.9 km-long project was originally initiated in 2010 but terminated in 2016, before being restarted in 2023 following requests from the Tamil Nadu government and the Chennai Port Trust, guided by a technical committee. The corridor’s double-tier design will efficiently segregate different types of traffic, improving flow and safety.

The project is expected to significantly enhance Chennai Port’s cargo handling capacity, increasing it from the current 53 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) to an estimated 200 mtpa by 2047, the NHAI release said. The corridor is seen as a key infrastructure initiative to strengthen logistics and trade efficiency in the region.
