<br />
==Traffic congestion==<br />

<br />
The Western bypass is proposed as well to decongest the road.<ref name="wbysanction">{{cite news |url= http://www.hindu.com/2011/02/05/stories/2011020561830800.htm |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20120607060738/http://www.hindu.com/2011/02/05/stories/2011020561830800.htm |url-status= dead |archive-date= 7 June 2012 |title= Accord sanction for Western Bypass, Ganapathy bridge |date= 5 February 2011 |page= 1 |access-date= 1 February 2012 |work= [[The Hindu]] |location= Chennai}}</ref><br />
