The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has demolished a portion of Green Circle, a roundabout below Chennai - Bengaluru Highway (NH 48) in Vellore, to provide more road space for motorists and prevent accidents.
Officials of NHAI said that after the demolition, the total size of the roundabout will be reduced by half. The demolished space will help motorists to cross the accident-prone spot safely. The demolition work is also part of the ongoing ₹7.5 crore pedestrian subway near the roundabout. “Additional road space around the roundabout will help to reduce the existing waiting time for motorists by at least 15 minutes during rush hour. Pedestrians will also get adequate space to cross the stretch safely,” said G. Vinith, a motorist.
