PERFORMANCE OF HIGHWAYS AND MINOR PORTS DEPARTMENT DURING 2020-2021 I.HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT 1. INTRODUCTION

The roads and bridges play a vital role in the economic development of the State and provides better connectivity. Tamil Nadu is one of the pioneer States in the development of a road network.

The phenomenal increase in motorization and rapid urbanization leads to tremendous traffic congestion, lack of adequate, efficient and low cost public transport. This issue has been addressed by adding additional roadway capacity via constructing entirely new roadways, adding additional lanes to existing roadways, or upgrading existing highways to controlled-access freeway, thereby increasing the road capacity. Apart from this, the High Level Bridges, Road Over/Under bridges, Limited Use / Pedestrian Subway, Grade Separators and Bypasses also enable uninterrupted flow of traffic. The Highways Department deals with the execution of the above infrastructure facilities through the implementation of various plan schemes.

Maintenance plays important role in the life span of roads and bridges. Adequately maintaining road infrastructure is essential to preserve and enhance wide range of economic and social benefits. This facility is enabled through the implementation of various non plan schemes.

The detailed physical and financial performance of the Highways Department during 2020-21 is given below:

1.1 ASSETS MAINTAINED BY HIGHWAYS DEPARTMENT
