United India Colony Third Main Road in Kodambakkam used to be a wide road — that was before the Integrated Stormwater Drain Project “transformed” it. When the road clears up — which usually translates to “when parked vehicles move out of the road” — it would be obvious the new stormwater drain runs close to the centre of the road. In practical, workaday terms, this means one vertical half of the road is out of bounds for moving traffic.
