Kodambakkam Bridge

The concrete structure extends 623 meters in length and 12.8 meters in width, connecting Ashok Nagar, K.K. Nagar, and Vadapalani neighborhoods.

The Madras State Highways Department completed the construction of this bridge in September 1965, replacing a congested railway crossing at Kodambakkam.

The bridge functions as a central point for daily social interactions, with residents from different neighborhoods regularly crossing paths during their commutes.

Recent renovations included anti-corrosion treatment, polymer plastering, and replacement of worn-out bearings between pillars and deck slabs to maintain structural integrity.

The fifty-year-old structure requires specialized maintenance procedures, as its age limits the use of heavy equipment during repairs and renovations.
