**Chennai to Get New Cycle Track Along Marina Beach as Part of Heritage Trail**

Chennai, August 26, 2025 – The Chennai Corporation Council approved a resolution Tuesday for the construction of a dedicated cycle track along the iconic Marina Beach. The track, intended to showcase the architectural heritage of the area, will be part of a broader heritage trail initiative.

The synthetic cycle track will span 2.3 kilometers, with a width of 4 meters, stretching from the Labour Statue to the Light House. The project also includes the redevelopment of nine bus stops along Kamarajar Salai and the creation of galleries offering views of the heritage buildings lining the corridor. Bollard lighting will be installed along the cycle track for improved visibility and safety.

The Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) has been authorized by the council to implement the project within the land parcels of the GCC (Greater Chennai Corporation), including existing garden and play areas. While a portion of the land is currently used for the metrorail project, a part of the garden along Marina Beach will be repurposed for the corridor. The council has also given the green light for work on the topo sketch for the project.
