Its just been 4 month that the Cenotaph road flyover have been opened and should say that the flyover is not serving its purpose during the peak hours. There were lots of traffic jam in the bottle necks such that the full bridge will be filled with very slowing vehicles.So finally from this month begining what the authorities have decided was no heavy vechicles will be going via turn bulls road to cenotaph during the peak hours. So our buses take long route going via Saidapet to reach our destination.
End result--> it takes more than 2 hours to come back home :(
(When the bridge was not there it was taking much less than that )

~~Cenotaph road flyover~~
Today while returning back in bus I was completely involved in reading another book which I got from flipkart.After 100 minutes of reading I looked through the window shocked to see bus was in saidapet, a route taken only by 23C. Then I remembered that the Cenotaph-turnbulls road flyover is getting opened for people to use.
I remember they have started building this flyover some 10 months ago ,it was supposed to be completed by November but given the rain and some legal issues it got delayed but not long enough ending our misery.Construction of this flyover caused an agonising delay adding salt to wounds of the tiresome trip we endure every day.It was a challenge for drivers to take us through the narrow residential area without hitting gates,walls and their flower pots.
Above is the map of the area, the red line is the route taken by vehicles beacuse of the construction of flyover and the width of the lanes would be no more than 30 feet.From tomorrow we can zoom past via the green line.Since this is a shortest route from IT highway to mount road, this area used to be the bottle neck of the traffic jam.Now with the flyover built we have to wait and see how good it is to easy the traffic flow.Hope it doesn't transfer the bottle neck to the next junction.

~~Waterways in Chennai~~
When you are struck in traffic jam and when your bus is in middle of water along with other vechicles and you spend four hours travelling to and fro to office everyday , you never know how cranky you become. When this repeats for the third consecutive day I was afraid I might end up in the mental asylum near our place.
