Moolakadai Junction, Road junction in North Chennai, India
Moolakadai Junction is a road crossing in North Chennai where the Grand Northern Trunk Road, Madhavaram High Road, Tondiarpet High Road, and Kamaraj Road meet at one point. An elevated flyover structure carries traffic above the intersection to manage the flow between these four major roads.
Construction of the flyover started in January 2011 but experienced delays caused by elections and land acquisition issues before completion in November 2015. The project was part of Chennai's infrastructure efforts to manage growing traffic in this northern area.
The junction marks where traditional neighborhoods like Madhavaram Milk Colony begin, reflecting how local Tamil communities shape the area. Residents and traders use this crossing as a natural gateway to their daily routines and local businesses.
Multiple bus routes operated by the Metropolitan Transport Corporation pass through this junction and connect passengers to Chennai Beach Railway Station and other destinations. The elevated flyover allows vehicles to move more efficiently, though the area remains busy during peak hours.
Container trucks regularly pass through this junction because it offers direct access to Chennai Port. This makes the location a key point for cargo movement in the region.
