Site A: Karur By-pass link road Length of the Road : 750 m

This road was laid a decade ago to ease the traffic congestion caused at Chathiram area due to the transportation between the city and western districts of Tamilnadu. This road is a fast growing commercial street of Tiruchirappalli which includes hotels, commercial / office buildings, retail outlets, fuel stations, cinema theatre, etc.

This road apart from serving as the entry to the city from the west, also connects with ease to places like Srirangam, Thriruvanaikaval, Samayapuram and to nearby towns like Lalgudi, Thuraiyur, etc.This stretch starts with congested road junction where two major commercial roads Megastar Theatre (Salai road & Sastri road) intersect and ends at the Chathiram - Karur road junciton. This road has been taken up under the smart city programme and underground sewer and electrical service lines have been laid but has not been able to achieve the desired effects. Cities to update
