The 152-year-old CSI Wesley Tamil Aalayam on Broadway has developed
cracks due to the ongoing Chennai Metro Rail tunnelling work, confirmed
officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL).
Constructed in 1861, the church was classified as a ‘Grade 2A’ heritage
building in the Justice E. Padmanabhan Committee report, a document that
lists heritage structures in the city.
The cracks developed late on July 26,2013 Friday night when a tunnel boring machine
(TBM) was drilling underneath the church as part of the tunnelling work
on the Mannady-Madras High Court stretch.
