Broadway bus terminus to be closed for redevelopment

Chennai’s iconic Broadway bus terminus is scheduled to shut down in the first week of August 2025. The Greater Chennai Corporation will undertake a full-scale redevelopment project at the site, marking a significant transformation for one of the city’s oldest transit hubs.

The Broadway terminal has long served as a major junction for intercity and suburban buses, connecting Chennai to nearby districts and states. With modernization plans now underway, the closure aims to enable extensive upgrades to infrastructure and facilities to improve commuter experience and efficiency.

City officials have assured the public that alternate arrangements and route diversions will be announced ahead of the closure. Interim bus stops and temporary transit access points are expected to be set up to ensure minimal disruption to daily commuters during the redevelopment period.

This initiative is part of a broader urban renewal push by municipal authorities aimed at modernizing key public transportation interfaces and enhancing the overall mobility framework in Chennai.

Further details—including timelines, alternate transport facilities, and reopening plans—are expected to be shared by the Greater Chennai Corporation in the coming days.
