The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- The National Highways Authority of India has opened a ₹21-crore vehicular underpass on NH 48 at Kadaneri village near Pallikonda toll plaza in Vellore for public use.
- The underpass, which is 5.5 metres high and 20 metres wide, was the last of five identified accident-prone black spots on the Vellore stretch to be addressed.
- NHAI officials said it will help pedestrians, mostly dairy farmers, cross the highway safely, and ambulances can use it to reach victims faster.
- In total, 13 black spots exist between Walajah toll gate in Ranipet and Krishnagiri, and the 148-km stretch now has over 20 such underpasses.
What to watch next
- Installation of LED lights, reflectors, signages and blinkers on the new elevated corridor, as suggested by motorists
- Whether the underpass reduces accidents at the former Kadaneri black spot
- Completion of safety measures at the remaining black spots between Walajah and Krishnagiri
