THIRUVANMIYUR SUBURBAN RAILWAY STATION IS LOCATED NEAR THIS PLACE, WHICH IS A RAILWAY STATION BETWEEN CHENNAI CENTRAL. CHENNAI INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT IS JUST OFF THE ECR ROAD.
THIS ROAD FOR THE FIRST TIME CONNECTED TWO OR THREE SMALL FISHING VILLAGES TOGETHER. THEN THIS ROAD WAS WELL CONNECTED WITH THE OLD MAHABALIPURAM ROAD TO MAHABALIPURAM. IT WAS BUILT TO REDUCE THE TRAVEL TIME OF THE FISHERMEN. THIS ROAD WAS EXTENDED TO PONDICHERRY TO FACILITATE INTER-STATE CONNECTIVITY. IN 2002, THE TAMIL NADU ROAD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION PLANNED TO UPGRADE THIS ROAD AND UPGRADED IT TO A 2-LANE ROAD CONNECTING MANY SMALL VILLAGES. IN EARLY TIMES THE CHOLAS USED THIS EAST COAST ROAD FOR TRADE DISTRIBUTION ALONG WITH THE PORTS. THEN THIS ROAD WAS CALLED ‘VADUKAPPERUVAZHI’ AS IT MARKED THE NORTHERN ROUTE.
