How to cross Kathipara Junction?

This is how the Kathipara Junction at Chennai might look after the ongoing construction is completed. But until then, people driving from Guindy towards Eekatuthangal will definitely have a great thrill. Here are my tips to drive in that route especially during the peak hours:


After crossing the Le Royal Meridien Hotel, drive a little in the Tambaram route for about 100 mts. There will be sign board written "Vadapalani" and directing towards right side.

Now take a right turn, move a little about 10 mts and then a left turn. Now you will be driving in the Porur route. After getting into this route, you need to be extra cautious because after this turn there are no sign boards to guide the way.

After driving for around 50 mts in that rought, there will be a small cut in the right near the Agarwal Tea Shop (land mark!!!) Take the right turn here. This road might be small in size, but will have as many vehicles as on the Mount Road. You can only move very slowly in that traffic, but as the end of that road comes, acclerate your engine because only then the vehicle could cross the little plump on the road.

Now you are just few meters away from the main road towards Eekatuthangal!!!

Now look up at the completed Tambaram to Eekatuthankgal flyover, get some stomach-fire and make a decision that from next time onwards - instead of taking the cut near that Vadapalani Sign board, drive a little towards Jothi Theatre and then join the Tambaram to Eekatuthankgal Flyover route. Happy Driving!!!

PS: Somehow I get a feeling very soon, this new Flyover @ Kathipara will be named as Kalaignar Flyover!!!
