In 2011, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, J. Jayalalithaa, announced the construction of two new flyovers at Ukkadam and Athupalam to help decongest the Palakkad Road.
Mercury Boulevard is a major north-south commercial corridor in the region, and intersects Interstate 64 in an elaborate interchange with flyovers in Hampton near the Hampton Coliseum.
There are flyovers, and bridges such as the Sixth of October bridge that allows straight, fast and efficient means of transport from one side of the city to the other.
