Hint: State Highway 49A otherwise called Rajiv Gandhi Salai is a significant street associating Chennai, Tamil Nadu with Mahabalipuram in Chengalpattu region, Tamil Nadu. It is 45 km long and was before known as the Old Mahabalipuram Road (OMR).

Complete step-by-step solution:
Expressways are the most elevated class of streets in India. In India, freeways are controlled-access thruways where passage and exit are constrained by the utilization of inclines that are joined into the plan of the turnpike, though National roadways are at-level streets. A few streets are not accessed, yet are still formally called interstates, for example, the Biju Expressway.
Most of the speculation needed for building freeways comes from the Central Government. Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra are the main states which are putting resources into building freeways through committed turnpike companies. The National Expressways Authority of India (NEAI) working under the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways will be accountable for the development and upkeep of turnpikes. The National Highways Development Project by the Government of India expects to extend the nation's present interstate organization and plans to add an extra 18,637 km of Greenfield freeways by 2022 separated from existing public expressways. IT Expressway is a significant street in Chennai, Tamil Nadu. It starts at the Madhyakailash in Adyar in South Chennai and proceeds till Siruseri on Old Mahabalipuram Road in the Kanchipuram region. It, at last, converges with the East Coast Road. This street is known as the 'IT Expressway' because there are numerous IT organizations situated on this stretch. This street is State interstate 49A. Also, the State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu Ltd (SIPCOT) has built up a Cyber City, spread more than 2000 sections of land in Siruseri, adjoining the IT Corridor. Numerous IT/ITES Companies have set up their offices in Cyber City. In light of the advancement and development of OMR Street, it was sorted into 2 significant zones. Zone-1 is from Madhya Kailash to Sholinganallur and Zone-2 is from Sholinganallur to Kelambakkam.
