Once the road is thrown open to the public, a part of Anna Salai will hyperlink stations as much as the airport by way of the elevated transit hub at Alandur. Commuters who board trains at Koyambedu will have the ability to travel to issues along the underground Anna Salai line by means of switching corridors at Alandur.
