CUMTA plans to build Chennai Corridor to ease congestion at MAA

To ease congestion and move cargo with speed, the Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) is exploring ways to have a separate corridor from the Chennai airport, in association with the Airports Authority of India (AAI). “We have to discuss this plan in detail with AAI and they should be able to shift cargo operations to the rear side of the airport. If that is agreed upon, this plan will greatly help in decongestion and smooth movement of cargo,” a CUMTA official said in a statement. As part of the recently held first meeting of the City Logistics Coordination Committee, under the Tamil Nadu State Logistics Policy, several plans were discussed to ease regional and urban cargo movement in the city, said reports.
