G.O. (Ms.) No.151, Velachery and Guindy Flyover Administrative Sanction, 2025
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.1) Department issued G.O. (Ms.) No.151 on 18 July 2025, granting administrative sanction for the Greater Chennai Corporation to construct a flyover in Division 172, Zone 13, at an estimated cost of Rs.310 crore. The project requires about 191 square metres of private land and 461 square metres of government land, but the order does not identify individual properties or set out a land acquisition process.
What the government approved
The Municipal Administration and Water Supply (MC.1) Department granted administrative sanction for a flyover from the Sardar Patel Road and Velachery Main Road junction area to the Guru Nanak College junction on 200 Feet Road. The project is within Division 172, Zone 13 of the Greater Chennai Corporation.
The stated purpose is to address growing traffic congestion caused by increased vehicular movement. The budget announcement cited in G.O. (Ms.) No.151 says the project is expected to benefit around 7 lakh residents in Velachery and Guindy.
Proposed design and route
The Greater Chennai Corporation proposal describes the following features:
- The flyover, including additional access ramps, will be 3,000 metres long and 12 metres wide.
- It will be an undivided, three lane flyover.
- It will start 300 metres after the Sardar Patel Road and Velachery Main Road junction and end at Velachery Bypass.
- The route will cover Race Course Road junction, Five Furlong Road junction and Velachery Bypass Road junction.
- Unidirectional down ramps, each 5.5 metres wide, are proposed at Five Furlong Road and near Guru Nanak College.
- For ground level traffic, a 5.5 metre wide service road and a 1.5 metre wide footpath are proposed on both sides.
The project will be undertaken using the Design, Engineering, Procurement and Construction method. A Detailed Feasibility Report and block cost estimate were prepared using the 2024 to 2025 Schedule of Rates.
Cost and funding
The approved estimated project cost is Rs.310 crore. The funding is divided as follows:
- Rs.232.50 crore, representing 75 per cent of the project cost, will come from the Infrastructure and Amenities fund.
- Rs.77.50 crore, representing the remaining 25 per cent, will come from the Greater Chennai Corporation's own funds.
Relevance to landowners and buyers
The Greater Chennai Corporation proposal states that approximately 191 square metres of private land and 461 square metres of government land are required for the project. G.O. (Ms.) No.151 does not identify the private survey numbers, owners or individual properties involved, and it does not describe a land acquisition procedure.
A buyer or owner near the stated route should therefore note the proposed alignment and land requirement, while recognising that the administrative sanction alone does not show whether a particular property is included.
