That highway ride is fast..just till Poonamallee. After that its gruelling city traffic to wherever you want to go. (unless your destination is close to one of the later highway exits).

About the distance from Sriperumbuddur compared to Meenambakkam from central Chennai, with the Port-Maduravoyal Expressway being built and increasing traffic on Anna Salai, but no plans to sort that out soon Sriperumbuddur will be just 40 mins away from Chennai Central - in peak traffic hour its taken me around an hour to get from there to Meenambakkam (compared to non-peak time of 40 mins)
I agree it can be quite fast at times. But, most of the times, I have experienced much longer times to get to areas such as T.Nagar, etc.
And I definitely agree that traffic on Anna Salai is becoming really really bad.
Even from the current airport, it can take a while to get to T.Nagar if you try to achieve this at 5PM!!!
