Chennai Broadway bus terminus to be temporarily shifted to Royapuram
The government offices located at the Kuralagam building too will be shifted to another location some buildings away.
The MTC bus terminus at Broadway, behind the Kuralagam building, will soon be shifted temporarily to a land belonging to the Chennai Port Trust in Royapuram. The terminus had to be shifted to a site that is 1.5 km away from Broadway as a multi-modal hub is set to come up at the location at a cost of ₹822 crore.
According to official sources in the Greater Chennai Corporation (GCC), the bus terminus, which serves around 290 buses a day and thousands of passengers, will move to a spacious 3.46-acre piece of land. Work including the laying of roads, construction of shelters, toilets, and provision of drinking water and rest rooms, is to be undertaken on around 2 acres of land.
