Kelambakkam
Kelambakkam is a prominent junction town on the Old Mahabalipuram Road, marking the transition from Greater Chennai to the Chengalpattu district. The town has gained prominence with the establishment of VIT University's Chennai campus, Chettinad Academy of Research and Education, and its proximity to the SIPCOT IT Park at Siruseri. The Kelambakkam junction connects OMR to the GST Road via Vandalur, making it a critical transit point. Rapid residential and commercial development has transformed this once-sleepy hamlet into a vibrant, youthful township.
