CHENNAI: With the recent rain spell coming to an end, motorists plying through Basin Bridge Road to Pulianthope and Veppery are heaving a sigh of relief. Reason being they are now able to evade potholes. Till two days ago, the potholes at the Pulianthope Junction on the Basin Bridge Road was filled with water.
While it has dried up now, the road is filled with just stones, potholes and gravel make riding on this stretch a backbreaking experience. Commuters said the road is in the same condition for more than a year. “It connects areas like Central, Veppery, Purasawalkam and Vyasarpadi. It’s a busy stretch,” said Raghavan G, a commuter. Just 100 metres away from Pulianthope Junction, Elephant Gate Road looks equally bad.
