SpotGenie Fact: India’s Longest Walking Bridge – The T Nagar Skywalk, Chennai

🏙️ India’s Longest Walking Bridge: The 570-Metre T Nagar Skywalk, Chennai

Chennai isn’t just known for filter coffee, Rajinikanth punchlines, and Marina Beach, it also hosts India’s longest walking bridge, the T Nagar Skywalk, stretching an impressive 570 metres.

Located in the bustling shopping district of T Nagar, this elevated pedestrian corridor connects:

Mambalam Railway Station, one of Chennai’s busiest suburban stations
T Nagar Bus Terminus, a major road-transport hub

This skywalk was designed with a single purpose: keep lakhs of pedestrians moving safely above the city’s most crowded streets. Instead of navigating packed sidewalks, traffic, and vendors, commuters now use a smooth, continuous elevated walkway.

🔍 Why This Skywalk Matters

It handles over 1 lakh footfall daily during peak festive seasons
Reduces road congestion on Usman Road & Ranganathan Street
Offers escalators and access points every few hundred metres
Improves walkability in one of India’s densest commercial zones

It’s a rare example of pedestrian-first infrastructure, something India could use many more of.
