About
Anna Salai , formerly known as
Mount Road (abbreviation of St. Thomas Mount road), is an arterial road in Chennai , India. It starts at the Cooum Creek, south of Fort St George and ends at the Kathipara Junction in Guindy . Beyond the Kathipara Junction, the road branches into two, with one traversing westwards to Poonamallee to form the Mount-Poonamallee Road while the other continues southwards to Chennai Airport , Tambaram and beyond to form Grand Southern Trunk Road ( GST Road or NH45 ). The road was an indicator of development as the city of Chennai grew up mostly along its eastern and western sides.
