A landowner has moved the Madras High Court, alleging that a flyover pillar has been constructed in a way that obstructs access to his property near PRS Grounds, close to Residency Hotel.

The 10.1-kilometer-long elevated flyover, being executed by the Special Projects Wing of the State Highways Department at a cost of Rs 1,621.3 crore, was originally scheduled for completion by the end of this month. However, with the case now pending in court, work on a crucial ramp near PRS Grounds has been stalled midway.
