Kodambakkam Bridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prior to the construction of the bridge, there was a railway crossing at Kodambakkam, one of the busiest in the city. Choked by heavy traffic, the construction of a bridge was first proposed in the Lok Sabha in the late 1950s.[2] Eventually, the Madras State Highways Department took up the construction of a bridge in September 1963 and completed it in September 1965.
