Chennai may soon get 7.6km-long sea bridge

金奈或修建7.6公里长跨海大桥

CHENNAI: To reduce traffic congestion in north Chennai caused by movement of containers to port, the state government on Tuesday urged the Centre to build a 7.6kmlong sea bridge connecting Gate No.1 (Zero Gate) of Chennai Port and Manali Road-Tiruvottiyur junction.

金奈：为了缓解金奈北部港口集装箱运输造成的交通拥堵，邦政府周二敦促印度政府修建一座7.6公里长的跨海大桥，连接金奈港1号门(Zero Gate)和马纳利路-蒂鲁沃蒂尤尔交叉口。

According to sources, the state has asked the NHAI to prepare a feasibility report for the project which may have a suspension superstructure for unimpeded movement of fishing vessels to the Kasimedu harbour. Highways minister E V Velu submitted the request to Union minister Nitin Gadkari in New Delhi on Tuesday.

据消息人士称，该邦已要求印度国家航空工业协会为该项目准备一份可行性报告，该项目可能会有一个悬架上层建筑，以便让渔船不受阻碍地驶向卡西梅杜港口。公路部长E V Velu周二在新德里向联邦部长尼廷·加德卡里提交了这一请求。

A source said, “In his meeting with the PM in June, chief minister M K Stalin had urged him to consider the project. The state has also been following it up with the Centre through letters.”

一位消息人士称：“在6月与总理的会谈中，首席部长M K Stalin敦促他考虑这个项目。邦政府也一直在通过信件与印度政府联系。”

“Traffic volume, particularly container traffic to Chennai Port has increased many fold over the last two decades

消息称：“过去20年，到金奈港的货运量，尤其是集装箱运输量增加了很多倍

Minister Velu also urged Gadkari to speed up the implementation of a two-tier elevated corridor connecting Chennai Port with Maduravoyal along the Cooum river. The project initiated by the Karunandhi government was stalled by Jayalalithaa’s AIADMK regime citing environmental concerns. It was originally sanctioned by NHAI as a 20m wide six-lane elevated highway for a length of 18.3km at a cost of Rs 1,655 crore. Following Gadkari’s direction in February this year, the NHAI revised the detailed project report for the doubledecker bridge to be built at a cost of Rs 5,965 crore for a length of about 20.56km.

Velu部长还敦促加德卡里加快建设连接金奈港和马杜拉沃亚尔的双层高架走廊。这个由Karunandhi政府发起的项目被以环境问题为由搁置。印度国家公路管理局最初批准的是一条20米宽、6车道的高架公路，全长18.3公里，造价165.5亿卢比。今年2月，在加德卡里的指示下，印度国家公路管理局修订了双层桥的详细项目报告，造价596.5亿卢比，全长约20.56公里。

Sabapathy

How stalin expects the centre to cooperate when his administration opposes everything the central govt does? He should do it with state funds.

这个邦的首席部长反对印度政府所做的一切，还想让印度政府拨款？他应该用该邦的资金。

sendhil

None of this will happen, just talking shop.

这一切都不会发生，只是说说而已。

Vishal

They should consider to go one step further and do something like the Mumbai coastal road project (redvelop the area with walkways and all). This will take more time but will be worth it.

他们应该考虑更进一步，建一些像孟买沿海公路的项目。这将花费更多时间，不过是值得的。

One government proposes and another government disposes...what happened to mono rail project proposed by previous government...people are fed up...

一届政府谋事，另一届政府搁置。前政府提出的单线铁路项目怎么样了？人们受够了……

Deepak Pillai

Monorail is not feasible for a city the size of Chennai and its population. Since it has very low capacity. Monorail was proposed by the previous regime out of its ego for its betenoire and nothing else. All for political reasons I would say.

对于金奈这样规模的城市和人口来说，单轨铁路是不可行的，载客量很低。单轨铁路是前政府出于对自身利益而提出的。我认为这一切都是出于政治原因。

Myth Buster

Mono rail is fit for short distances and for smaller number of passengers..

单轨适合短途、少量乘客。

Jayasubrama Ramamurthy

Better to build tunnel road below the ground safe self controlled , which may be cheaper and need not worry about sea calamities.

CMRL experience is adequate to carry out this.

It can be BOT basis and government financial participation is reduced. LT Tata or others can operate this

最好在地下修建安全可控的隧道公路，这样可能造价更低，也不用担心海洋灾害。

CMRL的经验足以执行这一任务。可以以BOT为基础，减少政府的财政参与，塔塔或其他公司可以操作

Srinivas M

All talks in air for few days, it will be same story again people suffering within the city will containers movement to ports. PM wants growth, he should also ensure ports don't have road ways and rail ways hurdles in reaching the ports.

在空谈了一阵后，还是老样子，人们将集装箱运到港口还是堵。总理想要经济增长，他也应该确保到达港口的公路和铁路畅通无阻

Hariharan Ramanath

Absolutely foolish to build a high cost road on sea, just because you have a congestion problem on land. Let us say, project on sea will cost Rs.10,000 crores. But an equivalent road on land will cost much less. Build another road on land parallel to the exsting expressway, pay Rs.5,000 crores as compensation for land acquisition and another Rs.2,000 crores for construction. The compensation for land acquisition should very high, so that people move out without much objection.

仅仅因为在陆地上有交通堵塞的问题，就在海上修建一条高成本的公路，这绝对是愚蠢的。比方说，跨海项目将耗资1000亿卢比。但是，在陆地上修建一条公路的成本要低得多。在与现有高速公路平行的土地上再建一条公路，支付500亿卢比作为征地补偿，再支付200亿卢比用于建设。征地的补偿应该高点，这样人们就不会太反对。

Kvs Sarma

Looks like So many lobbies involved in this proposal.

看起来有很多游说团体参与了这项提案。

Kvs Sarma

Already the MRT lines have changed the look of the city evrrywhere, as they were built only on top of exsting roads creating many problems.

捷运线已经改变了整个城市的面貌，建在现有道路上，造成了许多问题。

Kvs Sarma

Any sea bridge won't help Chennai city, as coast Line is straight and the city is growing away from the sea cost and city center.

任何跨海大桥都帮不了金奈市。

Chinnasamy SP

Proposal of sea bridge towards North from Chennai port is very good. It will make competition with Ennore ports and benefit to public.

从金奈港向北架设跨海大桥的提议非常好。它将与Ennore港口竞争，并使公众受益。

R K Surendar

Sir you are correct, but where from the land required is to be acquired

你说得对，但去哪征地

V Damodaran Damodaran

Better still is to convert Madras port into ship building facility.. Traffic to the port will be considerably less and manageable...

To build additional ports near Cheyyur ( south of Mahabalipuram) and at Enmore - expansion.

With increased defence and civil requirements, additional Ship building capacity, is an urgent necessity for India..

更好的做法是把马德拉斯港改造成造船厂。到港口的交通量将大大减少，易于管理。

随着国防和民用需求的增加，印度迫切需要提升造船能力。

Somasundaram

Plan for a second capital for Tamilnadu and move the administration out of Chennai. More and more ring roads and bridges will multiply population and in natural calamities like cyclone, mess up the whole population.

计划在泰米尔纳德邦建立新首府，并将政府迁出金奈。环城公路和桥梁越来越多，将吸引人口涌入，在自然灾害如飓风中，所有人都会陷入混乱。

Kvs Sarma

If you take out administration from Chen na I, what is left in the city? A few dilapidated shops? And most population is connected with adminstration one way or other.

如果政府迁出金奈，城市里还剩下什么？几家破旧的商店？大多数人口都是冲着这是首府才来这里的。

Ash Gau

First complete exsting projects that have been going on for decades and relay broken roads which run into several hundreds of kms across TN. All noise with zero action has become this corrupt defunct govt habit

首先完成已经进行了几十年的现有项目，然后修复跨越泰米尔纳德邦的数百公里破损道路

Khalifathullah K

Why you have not raised voice during previous regime.

为什么你没有向上一届政府提出这个要求。

Advait Jani

At this rate Chennai will soon win the tag of India's most polluted costal city. No amount of road space will make things better. It will only add more vehicles to the road.

照这样下去，金奈很快就会成为印度污染最严重的沿海城市。再多的道路空间也无济于事，这只会增加道路上的车辆。

Balaji Moudgalya

Not advisable. World environment studies have identified many areas including Chennai which will experience rise in sea-levels due to global warming.

不可取的。世界环境研究已经确定，包括金奈在内的许多地区将由于全球变暖而经历海平面上升。
