Arcot Road (also known as N. S. Krishnan Salai) (SH-113) is one of the main arterial roads of the city of Chennai in Tamil Nadu, India. The 12-kilometre road connects Nungambakkam with Porur. The road was constructed in the early 1940s and has been responsible for the development of the outlying areas on the western fringes of Chennai city.[1]
