4 consecutive days holiday… Chennai GST road is stuck… It’s Monday morning again!

Various districts in Tamil Nadu live in Chennai and its suburbs for education, work etc. He is interested in leaving his hometown whenever he gets regular vacation. Then there will be heavy traffic on the GST road from Chennai to Trichy, Dindigul and Theni. GST Road is short for Grand Southern Trunk Road.

It will also be referred to as National Highway No. 45. Only through this road can one go from Chennai to Delta and Southern districts. Especially starting from Chennai Kathippara Junction till Chengalpattu, the traffic jam will be heavy. In this case, the 78th Independence Day of the country is celebrated today (August 15 – Thursday). It is a public holiday.

4 consecutive days off

Tomorrow is Friday. If you take this one day off, the next Saturday and Sunday will come. So you will get four consecutive days of leave. Some private schools in Chennai have declared a holiday for students on Friday, August 16, which is seen as a happy news.

Travel abroad

So they have already planned their hometown trips to celebrate the holiday. Accordingly, they left from yesterday evening in their own vehicles through the GST road. As the night approached, the traffic became more congested. Due to this, the vehicles crawled like a turtle. Many of them will return to Chennai on the morning of August 19. Even then, the GST road will be blocked.

8 lane road project

Visionary projects have been undertaken to decongest the GST road which is a four-lane road. It means that it is being considered to convert it into an eight-lane road. If this comes into force, it is said that it will be possible to travel from Tambaram to Chengalpattu in just 20 minutes during peak hours. The people of Chennai are waiting for that day with great anticipation.
