Chennai to Madurai Traffic Information
NH38 and NH44 are among the most travelled routes for a Chennai-to-Madurai road trip, offering diverse landscapes and road conditions.
The NH38 route spans approximately 450 km and leads travellers through smooth stretches and sporadic traffic, particularly notable around major towns like Tindivanam, Villupuram, and Trichy. This route typically demands 8 to 10 hours, contingent upon traffic dynamics and weather fluctuations.
