Following the intermittent respite from rain this past weekend, the Highways Department was able to fix 241 potholes and patch up 32 damaged locations on 613 km length of roads under its control in the city. Repairs are being taken up according to the damage.
“We have been monitoring the roads with teams of inspectors and engineers 24x7. We are using different materials including wet-mix macadam and cold-mix bitumen to fix damages that happen due to rains. Our aim is to ensure the safety of motorists. During the next break in rain, more repairs will be carried out,” said Highways Minister E.V. Velu.
