Chennai, Feb 8 (IANS) The shipping ministry will extend all help for completion of two important port connectivity projects in Tamil Nadu, said Shipping Minister G.K. Vasan here Monday.

Speaking to reporters, Vasan said the road projects -- the Ennore-Manali Road Improvement Project (EMRIC) and the 19-km Maduravoyal Elevated Expressway -- will be completed in two years.

'The shipping ministry will render all help to the two ports (Chennai and Ennore) for the fast completion of the two projects,' he said after attending a review meeting here.

The 30 km Ennore-Manali road project, promoted by Chennai Ennore Port Road Co -- a three way joint venture between Chennai Port Trust, Tamil Nadu government and National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) -- had hit the block when the project cost went up to Rs.600 crore from the initial estimate of Rs.160 crore made 10 years ago.

The Chennai Port Trust had contributed Rs.38 crore as its share.
