Chennai's Adambakkam to see 5-day traffic diversion from Nov 11

Chennai police have announced a five-day traffic diversion in Adambakkam from Wednesday, November 11, to Sunday, November 15, 2026, due to road repair work. The Chennai Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board will dig up the road to fix a damaged sewer main near the Dr. B.R. Ambedkar statue junction on Masthankori Road. All vehicles, including government buses, are banned from traveling from Kakkan Nagar to Parangimalai railway station via Officers Colony Main Road. Vehicles must use an alternate route through Eri Karai Road, Brindavan Nagar Main Road, Balaji Nagar Main Road, and MRTS Road instead. Traffic heading from Parangimalai railway station to NGO Colony will also be diverted. The diversion is necessary because the RCC sewer main has been damaged and requires replacement. The Greater Chennai Traffic Police have requested the cooperation of motorists and the public during the five-day repair period.
