The third phase spans 30.10 km from the Tiruvallur Bypass to Sriperumbudur. Under this, four bridges and one railway over bridge would be constructed. As of now, 35% of the work under Phase 1 of the project — extending from Ennore Port to Thatchur — and 65% of the work under Phase 2 — covering Thatchur to the start of the Tiruvallur Bypass — have been completed, the release added. Phase 4 covers 23.80 km from Sriperumbudur to Singaperumal Koil. This section has already been constructed with State funds.

The stretch is part of the 132.87 km Chennai Peripheral Ring Road (CPRR) project. This third phase of the road works will cover a 30.1 km stretch and include two-lane service roads on either side, with a total project cost of Rs 2,689.74 crore.
