Chennai to Thennangur Traffic Information
There are primarily two main routes to reach Thennangur from Chennai:
The route via NH48 and SH50 is the most direct and commonly taken. Starting from Chennai, you should head west on NH48 (Chennai-Bangalore Highway) towards Sriperumbudur and continue on SH50 towards Thennangur.
The total distance via this route is around 100 km, and the journey typically takes about 2 to 3 hours, depending on traffic conditions. The road conditions are generally good, with a smooth highway stretch (NH48) followed by state highways (SH50) that are well-maintained but narrower in some sections.
Another option is to take NH32 (Grand Southern Trunk Road) from Chennai towards Kanchipuram and then connect to SH50 towards Thennangur.
This route is slightly longer than the first, covering approximately 110 km. Depending on traffic and road conditions, it may take a similar amount of time, around 2.5 to 3.5 hours. NH32 is a major highway and typically offers good road conditions, while SH50 may have narrower stretches.
Along both routes, there are several eateries and restaurants where you can stop for refreshments and meals.
