Madurai East MLA says widening Vandiyur Tank Road will ease traffic congestion near Mattuthavani
Madurai East MLA S. Karthikeyan announced plans to widen the Vandiyur Tank Road to alleviate traffic congestion near the Mattuthavani integrated bus stand. The project aims to improve infrastructure in anticipation of future development, including the upcoming Tidel Park.
Why it matters
Infrastructure development is critical for the growth of Tier-2 cities and managing urban density in rapidly expanding regions.
By widening the Vandiyur Tank Road, traffic congestion experienced in and around the integrated bus stand at Mattuthavani would ease to a great extent, said Madurai East TVK MLA S. Karthikeyan here on Friday.
Inaugurating the United Build Expo convention at the Tamukkum Convention Centre, he said that the appeal from the organisers to have a permanent infrastructure for conducting such exhibitions would soon have a solution.
Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijay is keen on development of Tier-2 cities and Madurai fits the proposal.
As for the vehicle congestion experienced in many parts of northern side of the city, especially in the flower market, integrated bus stand area, omni bus stand till Meenakshi Mission Hospital etc, Mr. Karthikeyan said that it would be more severe, when the Tidel Park is to come up in the vicinity.
