The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed transferring a 10-km stretch of the Chennai-Kolkata NH 16 from Madhavaram Junction to Padiyanallur to the state highways, making it a toll-free section.
Once approved by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MORTH), the total tolled road length of the highway will come down from 54.5km to 44.5km. This change will cut the ₹80 toll fee for cars and jeeps by ₹15, bringing it down to ₹65. Fee for light motor vehicles (LMVs) and minibuses will be reduced by ₹20, lowering it from ₹125 to ₹105. Similarly, trucks and buses will see a ₹45 reduction, cutting the toll fee down from ₹265 to ₹220.
This will be the first section of an NH in the state proposed to be removed from the tolled network due to vehicular congestion.
