Chennai to Velankanni Traffic Information
The 328 km Chennai to Velankanni road trip can be completed in 6 to 7 hours, depending on the route and traffic volume. There are three primary routes to select, each providing a distinct travel experience.
The smallest route, 328 km, takes drivers via the Grand Southern Trunk Road, Nagapattinam-Chennai Highway, NH 45, and NH 45A. This route is frequently chosen because of its well-maintained highways and easy navigation. Travellers find it a suitable option because the trip takes about 6 hours.
Some places worth visiting are the cultural centre of Pudukkottai, the ancient town of Chengalpattu, and the tranquil surroundings of Karaikal.
Overall, the state of the roads is good, with occasional heavy traffic patches scattered throughout the more calm sections, especially those close to cities.
An alternative route, covering around 340 km, passes by the picturesque East Coast Road (ECR) and NH 45A. This route makes for an especially pleasant trip because it gives travellers breathtaking views of the Bay of Bengal. The journey duration stays 6 to 7 hours, although it may differ depending on traffic circumstances, particularly on weekends and holidays when there is an increase in tourist traffic on the ECR.
Important stops on this trip include the serene French-influenced city of Puducherry and the picturesque village of Mahabalipuram, which is well-known for its historic temples and rock carvings.
The roads are generally in good shape, with smooth pavement and occasional shore views that improve the trip.
The third route, which passes over Grand Southern Trunk Road/NH45, can cover approximately 345 km. This road is preferred even though it is a little bit longer. It has fewer sharp turns and generally better road conditions, making it more enjoyable.
Velankanni can be reached in around 7 hours, with notable stops in the thriving towns of Thanjavur, home to the famous Brihadeeswara Temple, Trichy, a mediaeval city, and Tindivanam.
It’s a dependable alternative even with the additional kilometres because of the stable road conditions, well-maintained roadways, and obvious signage.
