Mannurpet stretch of CTH Road in bad shape after rains
The Story in Brief
The Mannurpet section of CTH Road has worsened after recent rains, with waterlogging, slippery earthen margins, and heavy traffic congestion, residents say. The stretch near the Mannurpet bus stop is among the worst spots, with illegal parking, encroachments, poorly regulated U-turns, and tangled telecom cables adding to the danger.
Two-wheeler riders and pedestrians are most at risk from the battered road surface, according to T. Gunaseelan, a resident of Ambattur who reported the condition. He said temporary patchworks fail as the surface erodes quickly, and a permanent relaying of the road is needed.
A widening project for CTH Road from Padi to Thirunindravur, announced two decades ago, has not progressed, Gunaseelan noted.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The report, written by a resident, highlights a road that has been in disrepair for years and has become more dangerous after the rains. No official response or repair timeline is mentioned, leaving commuters and pedestrians without a clear next step. The unresolved widening project, stalled for two decades, suggests that even if patchwork is done, the underlying capacity problem will remain.
