The long-stalled project to expand the 100km Maduravoyal–Walajah stretch of NH 48 remains unfinished even after 13 years. Despite massive funding of ₹1,500 crore, commuters still face a perilous drive, especially at night. Poor maintenance and scattered construction sites make the route extremely unsafe.
