Chennai High Speed Circular Transportation Corridors (HSCTC) is an urban road transit in the form of elevated concentric beltways planned for the city of Chennai. The beltways are envisaged as an elevated 2-tier system with design speed of 80 km/h. The top tier is a 2-lane dedicated corridor for the Chennai BRTS system. The second tier is a 4-lane road for 4-wheelers (no buses and autos).[1]

History
First corridor: Chennai Port–Maduravoyal corridor; scheduled for completion in 2013
Four beltways have been proposed, which cover a distance of 107.795 km. A connectivity corridor is also proposed to integrate the beltways with the ECR elevated expressway.
Beltway 1Edit
Beltway 1 is the outermost beltway encompassing an area of 167 km2. It is formed by the following corridors.
Adyar corridor
Chennai bypass#
North Buckingham Canal corridor
Central Buckingham Canal corridor
Beltway 2Edit
This beltway encompasses an area of 52 km2. It is formed by the following corridors.
The Chennai bypass corridor is a 32 km fully access controlled at-grade corridor. A 2-lane elevated BRTS corridor is proposed along the median of the Phase II of this expressway. The corridor is under construction.
Adyar corridor [15.845 km]Edit
Section I
Thiru-vi-ka Bridge (Km 0+000) to Nandambakkam Bridge (Km 11+100)

Along Southern bank of Adayar River
Section II
Nandambakkam Bridge (Km 11+100) to Chennai bypass (Km 15+845)
A total of 15 interchanges has been proposed along the HSCTC alignment of which 3 are already under construction by NHAI. A 3-tier interchange at Irumbuliyur is already functional.
